windows 98 doesn't have a built-in firewall, unlike windows xp.\n\nso most probably, if you have a firewall on your computer, you have to have a program installed.\n\nsome of the firewall programs being used are:\n- norton internet security\n- norton personal firewall\n- mcafee security center\n- mcafee personal firewall\n- zone alarm\n- black ice\n\nwhat you can try to do is to click on start, go to programs, and check your programs list for any of the programs listed above.\n\nor you can also click on start, go to settings, double click on control panel, then inside control panel, open add/remove programs. then check the list of programs that you have, and try to see if you have any of the programs mentioned above.

You need to go to control panel and click on windows firewall and disable it since you have McAfee and it it very simple to configure this to allow internet access of your programs.

You might check your hosts file to see if things are amuck in there.  It's located at:\nC:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92;drivers&#92;etc\n\nJust open it in notepad.

If you have SP2 installed, make sure that you either have an exception in your Windows Firewall, or turn off the firewall completely. \n\nTo test, I would recommend first turning off your windows firewall, to ensure that nothing is blocking your ping packets. once you verify that this is the problem, then you can make exceptions in your firewall.\n\nYou can get  to the firewall by going to start/control panel/Windows Firewall. hope this helps.

Check the passward and username\nCheck the firewall or internet security setting if you got some software for that\nCheck the internet connection, it sounds like you dont even have any tcp/ip connection\nLast resort, uninstall the software and then reinstall it

You can go into monitor software, look for the rundll32.exe and check it to be unblocked.

If you are on a company network, then the administrator will have the "codes."  I'm not sure what you mean by listing those cities.  Technically speaking, entering proxy server info does not get you past a firewall.  Maybe you could post what you are trying to do or the problem you are having so we can help you better.\n\nBy the way, Yankee, folks come here because they need answers to questions.  Yahoo Answers?  Get it?  If they were experts then they wouldn't need the help.

Well, just because you have both of those programs installed doesn’t mean your 100%. In conjunction with that I would recommend that you also make sure that you have all the latest Windows update from www.microsoft.com.\n\nOne easy way to check is while connected to the internet,\nat the top of internet explorer click on tools>Windows update.\n\nTwo other great products as well are:\nWindows Defender beta 2.0\nand Spybot.
