Ok I need some help. Well I can not get on ebay.com or amazon.com for some reason. I tried it in Firefox and IE and it works in neither one. Today I just activated my Norton Internet Security thing. I'm thinking that might be it. My internet is up. I have two computers connected to the same internet modem and on one of them i can view the websites.

Have you tried repairing your net connection? That will (among other things) clear the DNS cache, and that might allow you to visit amazon and ebay again.

No, at least not for me in version 2003. I'm not sure how it works in future versions :)

No, i need to know how to re-install first because i do not have a physical copy of it. I also need to know how it will affect my subscription.

click on the transferring subscriptions link. I think if you can transfer between computers there shouldnt be a problem just reinstalling norton
