computer issues

[dogboystoy]

Well, I feel I am fairly computer savvy, but I am stumped on this one. Unfortunately, I have had to switch from high speed to dialup within the past month (due to location). Anyway, all of my programs like Mcaffee instant updater and my spyware remover software cannot update. I click the "check for updates" button while I am connected to the net via my dial up connection. And both of those programs, for some reason cannot download the updates from their sites.

I assume it has to do with the fact that I am using dial up now, as before my connection was always on, so the programs could auto update whenever they wanted to. I am thinking there has to be some box I need to check or something, to let the computer know that I am no longer using the LAN connection and that everything should go through the dial up connection.I dont think I can remove the LAN connection from "network connections" but I will try.

Firewall is off

I have disabled my LAN connection in "network connections"

My auto updates are turned to manual mode.

And my spyware remover software in a brand new install since I have had the dial up.

Any Suggestions?

Are you using some type of internet security program? If you are, disable it and try again. Otherwise you may have to go into each programs options to see what kind of connection is setup there. Even though you re-installed your spyware program, there may still be some registry settings left from the previous install that were not removed/overwritten.

Well, I did look into all of the settings that I could find. I will look again, but I cant seem to find what would do this.

Thanks
