Mark,

I appreciate the reply. Sadly, I already checked the things you recommended
and I am still getting the problem.

See, the problem isn't just with the website access itself, it also pertains
to the lower-level processes, like pinging.

And for mcafee, I am unable to update my program because I cannot access
mcafee.com.

Any recommendations???
