Internet connection: Port 80 is disabled
My internet is not working and my ISP told me that my port 80 is disabled or closed due to my firewall. I have uninstalled my firewall but am still unable to access the internet. How can I go in and open up that port in Windows 98?
why not still have your firewall installed? You should be able to open up port 80 with the firewall. What type of firewall is it?

Zone alarm, but with me uninstalling it I am still unable to access the internet. Where do I go to see what ports are open?

The port 80 is open on web servers. Your port 80 should be closed. If your FW has gone bonkers, it may block requests to port 80 on the remote party.
Can you access anything on the internet? Can you ping a remote host (ping www.experts-exchange.com)? Can you connect to your e-mail server?

Thanks for all your help. I needed to reinstall the drivers for the network adapter and it is now running fine. I'm not sure how that driver got corrupted but once I fully reinstalled it's working fine. All your suggestions were ligit so I'm not sure how to give everyone some points for their help.
