Hi,
I hope somebody can help me. I'm having problems with software on my PC not being able to find a connection to the Internet. At first I thought it was my McAfee Firewall but I've uninstalled and the same problem occurs.
This problem occurs when I try and register certain programs online. When I tried registering McAfee Security Suite, it couldn't find a connection. When I try and register Steam so I can decrypt my Half Life 2 game, it can't connect to the internet. Whats strange is I could register HalfLife 2 with Vivendi no problem at all. This is getting hugely frustrating as I am not very technical and don't know much about these things

.
My Internet connection is fine. I am using the 1mb NTL broadband service which hasn't given me any problems so far.
Operating system: Windows XP (pro I think)
Has anybody suffered this same problem? I'd appreciate anyhelp you can offer.
thanks in advance,
Nathan
