My daughter is home from college after her first semester away. She complains that she has to borrow someone else's computer if she wants to check her e-mail at school. I picked up her laptop this evening and discovered that, with her computer, I couldn't check my e-mail from the Adelphia web site either. Then I tried checking my account at my bank. That doesn't work either.
Any site that requires you to log in, doesn't work. It goes to a page with something about a 400 error and it tries to do a search instead of going to the page.
That's all I know right now but she's home for a while. I can find out what else you might need to know to figure out this problem. Thanks for any suggestions.
