We will need to know what firewall you are using.

can you tell me in detail where i can find the firewalls i don't know anything about tham and in the mean time i will look for it

QUOTE

either has hiding behind a security firewall

Websites secured behind a firewall can only be accessed by authorized people... please let us know what url you are not viewing and we'll check them.
Error -1 related to this is mostly returned by a wrong gateway setting. If you are not browsing behind a firewall yourself, it may be originated by the unauthorized access you're trying on a secure(locked) url.

Ok Mary,

Not sure if I understood all, your computer is not accessing the net, or it's connecting and not displaying some pages ? There may be a lot of reasons for that.

First, are you using a modem or a DSL/cable access with a LAN card?

If you wiped everything, it's possible you'll have to reinstall some drivers prior to get normal access again.

Post back your specs and we'll try to reconnect you.
