While in the mcc click on security and then the setup firewall, you will see an allow everything box, put a check mark in it and apply and then see if you can access the internet. If you can go back and click on the check mark to take it out and you should still be able to access internet and e-mail. That way you still have the firewall going or you can leave it off and rely on your router firewall for protection. let us know how it goes. HTH
