msn explorer works but IE explorer and firefox doesnt

[syretz]

In addition, my avg updates doesnt work, nor anything that needs to go out to a website to update. All of these say that they cannot connect to the internet. I am trying also to connect a new linksys router and it says that it cannot detect the network. how can this be when i connect and surf just fine with my msn explorer, you know, the one with the butterfly! Help!! I am now not able to even use my old wireless router. Should I somehow change the default version of explorer to the one that works to steer these other programs to it to get a valid connection?

There are many factors that can come into play with Internet/Network access problems, but since you're using MSN Explorer and since there is no longer active development on that browser except for those using MSN Internet access and a Windows Live ID, I will skip over firewall considerations and take my first guess as being that your other browsers have not been configured for MSN Internet Access.

In fact, I'm not even sure if MSN Internet can be accessed with browsers other than MSN Explorer, since I am not a customer of MSN Internet. I would take advantage of your MSN access and check out that question first (whether other browsers can be used for MSN Internet).

Good luck!
