Did you maybe install Service Pack 2, a Norton Product or Google Toolbar or something like this recently? Sounds like the typical pop up blocker error to me....

those wouldn't force a localhost redirect with the popup :?

Re: Downloading MS sets with Mozilla Firefox

I'm using Windows XP SP1. I can't remember what was the last thing I installed but I?m pretty sure was not the Google tool bar (I had it before this started happening).

One thing I'm sure is that I tried downloading with Mozilla Firefox as soon as I installed it and couldn't do it.

In both cases (IE and Mozilla) the thing is that the pop-up never comes up. IE would refresh the page after typing the password and that?s all, whereas Mozilla would refresh but would say ?retrieving data from?? forever.

Thank guys for the help, hope something comes to your minds.

Click your Start Menu and go to Run. Copy/paste this into the run box and press enter:

notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Copy/paste the contents of that file into here. don't save any changes to the file if it asks you to

But be aware that if you visit donkey porn pages we can see what you do from the entries in this file. :P

That's my neighbor's internet wireless service, any difference?

[picklemonkey]

your neighbors?



127.0.0.1 loops back directly to your computer instead of going out to the network.


do you have the Google toolbar installed on Internet Explorer and on Firefox?

Well IE for sure, Firefox has a Google look-up box that I'm not sure ifit's the same as theIE's toolbar

[picklemonkey]

have you tried turning off the Google toolbar in IE before downloading your sets? Do you have Yahoo toolbar or any others installed?

Finally! It was an update of my Kerio Firewall that was causing trouble both in IE and Firefox.

Thanks very much for your help guys, I'm sorry for keeping you busy for so long.
