If you have Norton, it sometimes randomly blocks them, but unusual for it to block all at the same time, this usually happens after a specific site has done an upgrade and Norton needs to accept the "new software"

Just bring up whatever firewall you are using and check your list of allowed programs.

ok this is getting serious.  I still cannot get into any poker site but can get into every other site.  Also cannot get into MSN....

computer does not look well

Any ideas as to what i could do to settings etc to enable it to access poker sites.

Like i said its a personal computer on a wireless connection so i should not have any firewall issues.

Also never had the problem before and it was working perfectly earlier today

Thanks

wireless routers have their own firewall, to be honest mate you give no real info there.
Try turning off your firewall, either your own (norton, zonealarm etc.) or windows built in.
If it doesn't work and without any real details i'd do a system restore and take the puter back to an earlier time (when you know it was working), this is not as drastic a move as you might think and takes little time.
If you wanna be more specific or you don't know how to do these things let me know i'll see if i can help.
