Chronus001 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I can connect to the internet using a web browser, but when I try connecting to game servers(like with MMO's) or try connecting to steam. I get a connection error. I don't know why this is happening. I recently ran wise care's pc 1st aid for slow computers. It told me that I may have to reinstall some programs if they stop working. I reinstalled steam. The MMO I am trying to play is a new download.(downloaded after I ran the fix.). ps If the fix was the problem. Other than this major hickup It worked wonders. My pc is faster than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilolee Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hi chronus001. I think your problem could be firewall-related. You can make a try with the firewall disabled, just 10 minutes for a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus001 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I tried turning off my firewall, windows firewall, It did not rersolve the issue. I can use one program on the internet. Extreme Picture finder. It is basically a webcrawler for images. The fact that it acts somewhat like a browser might explain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilolee Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Open an elevated command prompt, copy the following line in the code, paste it in the command prompt (right-click with the mouse, paste), press enter on your keyboard, wait until it finishes, close the command prompt, restart your computer: RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351 Looking forward for your kind feedback! How to run an elevated command prompt for Windows vista/seven users One of these three methods: - click start, all programs, accessories, right-click the command prompt in the list and click run as administrator, click yes on the user account control window that should appear - click start, type cmd in the searchbox, right-click the cmd in the list of results and click run as administrator, click yes on the user account control window that should appear - click start, type cmd in the searchbox, press and keep pressed ctrl + shift Keys on your keyboard, then press enter, click yes on the user account control window that should appear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilolee Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi chronus. What OS are you using? Are you considering that MS had recently disabled SSL2.0 and SSL3.0 (because of potential threats/exploits)? Maybe those servers are using SSL, so you could try to re-enable it and re-try.

Chronus001 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 No I did not know that. How do I re-enable them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilolee Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Firefox34 and newer versions should already have disabled SSL. The same is for chrome39 and newer. MSIE11: tools, internet options, advanced tab, 7th and 8th entries (starting from the last entry). If this should work, I recommend you to turn them off (untick those two entries) when you have finished this test and to inform those websites where you have these problems.
