RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: I can

Ok, I need the stupid comments to end.

I have AVG. I said I was getting it in my last post. I got it. Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware aren't antivirus. I don't know the other two but it really doesn't even look like I have to know.

ANTI JUST GET IN HERE. Tell me how to block windows media player from accessing the 'net. Now.

zone alarm?

seriously when the thing pops up like "windows media configuration is trying to access the internet" just click deny and it won't do it...

I wish people on this site would quit acting like Anti is the only one that knows anything about computers.

Windows Media Player>Tools>Options. Click on the Player tab. Deselect the box that says Connect to the Internet (overrides other commands). There you go.

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: I can

Oh, like I didn't notice that before.

I ask anti because I know it's not some option in WMP I need to deselect. It's something I need to configure on my router to block access or attain some unknown program that will do it for me.

Something like that.

I wish the problem were that easy though. Alas, it was unchecked already.

Wut~

I've been missed, apparently. Sorry. For some reason I didn't see your thread. ;_;

Anyway, talk to me online. I'll be able to help you out better if I can get some more info and actually talk to you.

Do you have a cable modem becuase that happen to me and it expiered. I couldnt get on the internet. Then i got a new one and it was all better.

-.-

I solved the problem already - thanks to talisman for the ZA comment - and I mentioned before the specifics.

How could it have been a dead cable modem if I could still load half a page and play an MMORPG?! I knew it had to be limiting my bandwith somehow, so I ran TCPView to see what was outgoing and incoming through my network and happened to notice Avast had about 15 different webclients running. And later, I noticed Media Player had 7 as well, which I promptly blocked.
