I cannpt do anything with my paypal account, or even the paypal site. For whatever reason, I can get to paypal.com, log in, see my account, and then not do anything else.
Tonight's aggravation: I use firefox, lots of tabs open. In one tab, I go to paypal.com, a desperate attempt as its caused me problems for the last week or so. It works, the page loads. I enter my email and pass, and I get the processing page, and then I can go to my account. Great. In another tab, I go to knifeworks.com, as they take paypal. I tried to order from them already, and had to have them cancel because I could not pay through paypal.
Well, I put the items in my cart, fill out the forms, and choose paypal as payment. The page tries to redirect to paypal, gets hung-up and doesn't make it. I go back to the paypal tab, and it now refuses to work as well. I take it back to the main page, and find that I can't navigate at all again. Clicking any link on the paypal page doesn't work, it never loads. I google it. From google, I can't get to paypal links. I can get to the cached pages, and I can get to paypal through proxies like ninjaproxy or secure-tunnel, but any plain old www.paypal.com/whatever is a no-go. I clear the cache and cookies. Nada. I try IE. Nope.
I've done a secured sites fix, added paypal to the trusted sites list, enabled all activex controls, run spybot, adaware, norton (free with comp), housecall, looked at the hosts file, and no malware or weirdness that I can see (very limited knowledge, though)
Last time I had this problem, the way I got it to work for a second was switching the way I connected to the router. I was on cat-5, unplugged it and installed the little D-link wireless usb adapter. I got into my account in IE, but then it quit when I tried to pay knifeworks again. I've noticed after looking at the lights on the wireless-then checking the connection-I don't send/receive any packets when trying to get into paypal.
I've done paypal transactions on this computer before. Done them through firefox. I'm lost. I called paypal, compaq, and told my buddy who's a tech for the isp. I asked on a couple computer boards where no one has answered me after days of waiting. Nothing has helped. i guess I need a browser fix, but 2 different browsers won't work.
