I couldnt get online last night or earlier today. The connection looked good, the firewall settings were fine and i was getting back a message that the connection was reset (the standard message that appears). A guy told me to delete Norton anti virus if i had it which i did and deleted it and then it still didnt work but this is my first time restarting the pc since it happened so it looks sorted. I have AVG anti virus on the pc so im fine for that.

My q.If this happens again what could it be? It may not happen again but if it does what should i check.I had a few techies a few years back but no longer have them because of

(a) one of them died
(b) had a fight with another
(c) another is nowhere to be found (he is missing but presumed not right)

Hate to loose the World cup comp because of missing an update.

means soooooo much to me,
