Hi, Jak! (Pauses and waits to be overrun by overenthusiastic American airport guards)
Tefkat asked me to drop by to see if I could figure out what was going on with your laptop. Do you still need any help getting it going?
My first suggestion is a simple one: Temporarily uninstall Lifeguard. If it's the program I'm thinking of, it acts as a proxy between you and the web, saving session data so you can get back to the same place if your laptop battery fails or your connection drops... By uninstalling it, you should restore the settings to the way they were when you first set the browser up. If you can connect after that, reinstall Lifeguard and all should be well. If you can't connect, at least you are likely to get a more informative error message.
Good luck, and let me know how it goes.

I've always found help desks to be totally useless. Normally end up fiddling and working it out myself with voodoo programming (Or ending up in such a mess that Peet has to spend his nights sorting me out. Peet. )
If they haven't sorted it out by now don't you think they've forgotten you? Why not ring them and use the "Do you think this might help?" strategy. Work them round to where they think it's their idea. (Or is that summat only wimmin can do? )
