I'm hoping someone with comp IQ can help me, here goes…..
Whenever I try to browse any website using Internet Exporer, I get an 403 forbidden error code. It says: You don't have permission to access http etc. It does this for every website that I try to go to. All other software works fine (ie AOL, limewire) just not IE. I am connected to my wireless network, but I still cant browse. I also have a PC that is connected to the same network and I have no problems using IE on there. Any Help?
Bobert, thanks for looking into this…. It is the actual AOL application working fine (I dont use Instant messenger). I really dont know what happened, it worked fine last week.
My wireless connection is connected to the network.

Sounds like your computer isn't recieving packets from your ISP.
When a computer is on a network, any network, your computer sends out information, and then the computer should receive packets (information) back.
Look and make sure your wireless is connected successfully. You can do this by right clicking your network icon in the system tray net to the clock.
Another thing to look at is the computer's firewall.

It is interesting that you say that AOL works, by this do you mean AOL Instant Messenger or do you mean AOL the browsing application? Who is your ISP? It is strange that you are getting a 403 error because this is usually given back by a web server denying you access. This is not an error that can be generated locally. Once you provide that additional information, I may be able to help you further.
