Hi all, Sorry for the Windows question on a Linux list, but I figure someone here may be able to point out the obvious to me - I've been racking my brains over this for several hours now. On my Mum's XP PC she can't load up *any* webpages nor will most applications actually make a successful outgoing connection. I have installed LogMeIn onto it so I can remotely help her. She has Skype installed. Both of these run at startup. Both of these are working absolutely fine.

From Mum's XP machine:telnet smtp.googlemail.com 25Connecting To smtp.googlemail.com...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed (Also, all webbrowsers fail to connect to anything on the WAN side). Any thoughts? Grant.
Um... is there any proxy server set on Internet Explorer?Has she got a firewall (either the built in Windows Firewall or another 3rd party firewall) running?
