Internet Explorer blocked when folding

Post by pacemaker »

When I start folding, I can no longer get on the internet. If I stop folding I can get right back on. What do I need to do?

I do not have this issue, and as far as I know this is the first I've heard of this issue. An you describe your system more? Software level should be fine, like what Internet browser, antivirus/firewall software, operating system, etc. That might help make things easier to figure out. Thanks.

I use Vista 32 bit, AVG anti virus free, Internet Explorer 9 and a wireless router. I know nothing about my standard firewall.

Problem solved. I reset my wireless router to factory specs and it seemed to fix the problem.

Good for you! Fold on!

And by the way, since I'm all enthusiastic about it at the moment, if you would like to know more information about Folding@home you should read its Wikipedia article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home It's finally a good place to go besides the main website.
