I've got a rather odd problem.  No, not that one, it goes like this.....

At home, I have broadband access via cable.  The modem feeds into a Netgear 
wireless router, from which my desktop and laptop work.

The laptop is working fine.  On the desktop, I can use the mail programme built 
into Netscape perfectly.  The browser, however, reports refused connections 
once it has been opened for more than a minute or so.  IE will also not 
function.  Yet the email client continues to download mail.  I can access the 
router (during the short active period) and all seems well.  It's a secure 
network and nothing seems to have been tampered with.  I have up-to-date virus 
protection and have scanned for malware.

It's almost as if an invisible firewall suddenly starts to function.  Zone 
Alarm is uninstalled at the moment, as it was causing me difficulties with the 
network.

Is anyone less baffled than I am about this?
