Do use a firewall? If you do, try disabling it or changing its settings and see if if your programs work then.

click on the firewall symbol at the bottom right hand side of your screen to try to access it .... try the right hand side button on your mouse which will give you the option of opening it among other options with a right hand side click of the mouse...... try to do a spy bot search on your computer (if you have one) or similar programme which will search your computer for problems and repair them.... i have a resident spybot programme which does this when i have similar problems like yours.... you can download it free or buy a more advanced one which even removes viruses that break through the firewall

all depends on what firewall the school has put up. U could try loading myspace of another site b/c u cant just type in Myspace.com and click search b/c it wont let u. Try looking at myspace layouts, and some might say Add to myspace and it will go to the myspace home page.

your firewall is blocking the port that AIM uses to talk to the servers. Sounds like you are trying to use AIM at work or school, often schools/work places will block the AIM port so people will pay attention. If you're at your house.. you'll have to learn about port forwarding, check the manual.

you can try e messenger, most probably it will work if your school admin is not that smart.\n\nhttp://www.e-messenger.net/

You can get into your inbox if your school allows connections to those websites via the internet that it offers.  Their firewall may block it.  If they do allow it, then access is the same as the way you access it from home.

try setting the connection preferences -> firewall with no proxies\n\n(you can do this when signing in - by clicking up on the left on the Messenger button, or after you've signed in in the same way, except you'll go like that: Messenger-> Preferences-> Connection)\n\nhope it works! it worked for me! ;)

Here are two popular proxy sites that claim to get you through any school filters and firewalls freely ; )\n\nhttp://www.schoolboredom.com\n\nhttp://www.browsespace.com

It may not be a firewall problem.Try unticking the "use proxy server box" and tick on the "automatically detect settings box" (in Tools/Internet Options/Connections-Lan Settings). It worked for me.

MySpace is blocked at my work... but all I have to do is click on one of the links they send you in an email (like when you have a new message, or friend request, etc...) and it gets past the firewall that way.  It just depends on how good your school's firewall is!!

It is probably blocked at your school because school computers are for school related work.

ZoneAlarm is a big one on this but if you don't have it try reinstalling the software and see if it works.  I don't recommend disabling your windows firewall or any other firewall.  Its there to help keep you safe.  You should have had something come up and say the program is trying to access that site.  If not I am not sure what to tell you.

What type of connection are you using? If it's based on a network, like a school's computer connection, then there can be sites that have been blocked by the administrator. If you have your own, then it would probably be best to contact your provider.

by technicality, you're not suppossed to unless it's part of an assignment given by your computer teacher.  most people don't listen.  just go to your school library (best time is during lunch) and log onto one of the computers there.  the schools don't have regular mail sites blocked, so you should have no problem logging on.
