Gateway 4025gz (built-in wireless)
Windows XP
Mozilla Firefox ver 1.0.7
situation:
1. went to Borders bookstore, and logged on to the local open wireless network as usual (I know, it's morally wrong to do so)
2. connected to internet as usual, everything fine.
3. next day, start up the computer
4. when I try to go to any site, the following error message in Firefox:
"The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.google.com"
I've tried changing the IP address, asking it to automatically assign a new IP address each time I log on, etc.
Any reason this would happen?
