I've discovered what the problem is. I run Symantec's Desktop Firewall. When I disable it, the Mozilla browser runs just fine. When I enable the firewall, "... connection refused..." However, the mail-news client continues to work right no matter the state of the firewall. I'm running WIN32 build 2001100503. Now, like before, if I wish to run the Mozilla browser with my firewall enabled, I have to back off to WIN32 build 20011001. I hope this information helps. Roy R. Campbell, Jr.
