I wanted to just post this little blog about the pas two days of problems on my computer.

I am so knew at using computers that I just didn't know what could have been the problem. It is 12:33 pm Monday November 3rd and I just got the problem solved. Any way I tryed to get into my mail from FireFox and got a "cannot connect to server." Whatttttttt? What is this thing talking about? I tried to get to Wealthy Affiliate. Same box came up. WOW! I am in a heap of ?????????. So I went to Crome. Same result. I downloaded an advanced security thing that cost me 49.99 and it said it cleaned out 23 bad stuff. One I had heard of before was Trojan. OK. Back to work right? No. same message. Man I didn't know what to do. Chrome said to go to some kind of setting and change "server settings." Change to what? How do you get to settings? What is a "server setting?" Plus. What do you do with it after you find it.

Hey friends. I know I sound "Dumb" but I Don't Know. A little while ago I called my Internet provider and got to talk to "George." George of course is an Ip person. A Trouble shooter. And I was very impressed with the service I got. George worked with me for about an hour and walked me through the hole process of resetting a server.

I won't go into any more details. I just thought this experience was worth sharing with my fellow Wealthy Affiliate friends and family.

Happy Trails Ya'll..................Frank

Thanks for putting that info out. It is good to have good tech service. There are so many bugs out there that can create havoc with your computer! Glad you got it worked out.

Frank, this was well worth sharing with your friends of WA. I found it very interesting, exciting and useful. The exciting part is they spent so much time with you to make sure you were satisfied with the service. I hope they explained that you can Google any question you have and almost always get a very detailed answer to work through the solution. I have needed to do that countless times, and have mastered the art of the question since being here at WA. It's not something I did as well prior to WA. Just thought I'd pass that on to you.
Remember, there is no finish line so enjoy the journey. May the journey be one filled with love, laughter, joy, hope and most importantly, Peace. Peace in the certainty of your decision. donna

I always love your messages. Thanks for taking the time to keep me up to date on your happenings. BTW, saw a little girl dressed like a cowgirl. She looked just like Dale. LOL

ALL HAIL THE HELPFUL GEORGE! Seriously though, glad you found someone to help. Some times you also can fix it by checking your antivirus' firewall to make sure it is allowing the sites you are trying to get through to, in.

Hey Frank,
I'm happy to see that you got your issue resolved. You might want to have your computer looked at by tech just to be sure there isn't anything else on your computer. Proxy Server malware can be a major head ache and difficult to get rid of.

Hey Frank, I'm glad you got it all resolved. :)
