Problems with DSL

chekmayt11 · 10-29-05, 08:42 PM

I recently got Verizon DSL. It works with Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, but when I try to use Internet Explorer or iTunes it refuses the connection (that's what it says). Firefox is set as my default, and that may be the problem, but I don't know how to change that setting. Any ideas?

I don't rightly know. Is there a way to find out?

Yes windows firewall is what's running. I selected Explorer and iTunes on the exceptions tab and it still won't allow it. Here is the exact message I receive upon trying to open iTunes Music Store:

"iTunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
