ive got a buddy who has a problem, and hes lazy thats why im doing this
it seems as though he can only surf websites that are secure. for example if he goes to yahoo to check his email hell put his pass. and id. in and itll time out and go to a page ezpired page. or another example would be he cant play on pokerstars. but aparently he can look at othersites that are non secure. where he came up with this i dont know hes no cmputer guy. another problem i noticed was that sometimes we talk on msn messanger and his icon will appear like when he signs on but the strange thing is he cant log on to it it wont let him so who or what is signing him on? my brother in law is a computer guy and i asked him what possibly is the problem and the most he could come up with is checking the cookies and making sure to allow 1st party cookies
oh he uses a laptop with xp and uses mozilla
if anyone of you guys has a solution should the same also be applied to IE also just to cover all bases?
thanks any help would be greatly appreciated

Does this computer have a dedicated connection, or is there multiple locations/ISP's where this computer gets used? What specific error messages are displayed?
