    Hi, My XP computer suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. It connects to my wireless routers (one at home, one at work) just fine, but no internet or email. I tried using an ethernet cable, same result, and tried using "PDAnet" which connects to my phone via USB... this didn't work either. Thislast time I noticed a message that said something about "DNS not verified".
    I don't see any indication that malware is to blame, but it's not impossible.


    Thoughts? Without the internet life runs slowly...

    Never mind, I got it. I was caused by an argument between the Avast firewall and Personal Firewall...
