Browser link oddity

Since going wireless (ADSL wireless modem to single pc) there's a peculiar fault. If I click on a URL link in an email, a browser window opens, the progress bar says 'connecting to ' but the address doesn't appear in the main URL bar at the top, and the site never comes up, eventually timing out.

Any ideas where to look for reasons, please?

Thanks,

Steve

Ancient pc, Win98SE, BT Voyager2000 modem, EDI 7117 USB Wireless stick at PC end. Using OE6 and the problem happens whether IE6 or Firefox is set as the browser that opens.

Spot on, thanks. Not wireless at all, but coincidentally someone else adjusting the firewall settings.

Cheers,

Steve
