What could be causing this problem?

[yys]

Ok here's my problem. Earlier today when I visited ynot none of the graphics came up on their site; I thought it was probably just a problem with that particular site. Now when I visit sites as diverse as google and thehun none of the banners appear. If I click through to a gallery on thehun.net the pictures and banners appear, if I do an image search on google none of the images appear. All banners and images appear on this board and on pornno.com and other sites. I have not installed any new programs and I haven't change any of my computer settings. I ran ad-aware just to see if I had anything on my computer and all it found were cookies for sextracker and double click. Do any of you have any idea why my browser would be randomly blocking images from such a wide range of sites. This is really starting to piss me off and I just might have to format c: if I can't fix it.

Wow...that is fucking weird...I am havinf the same issue with GFY on my MS2000AS box with IE6 I cannot see any of the graphics...yet on my Win98 box with IE5.5 everything works just fine...actually makes you wonder if Microshit stuff is getting better or worse....

some internet security programs like nortan have an ad blocking feature, check to see if this feature is enabled on any protection program you run. This happened to me before and all i had to do was turn off the feature.

I should have mentioned that I'm useing IE6 as well on win98se . I just can seem to find any reason why this shit is happening. I know I don't have any scumware on here, if I did I could see it placing its banners and images but not just removing the images on me.

I run norton av but I've never noticed any blocking features on that and I haven't changed anything with it and if I did have something set to block images you would think it would block them on all the sites not just random ones.

I am not using norton...so I don't think that is it...although you are right virus software does usually cause alot of conflicts...is anyone else using AT@T broadband?

[phukit]

the feature isnt in nortan anti-virus its under nortan internet security. Im not familar with ie6 but maybe theres a feature like this in there as well.

I use att and I dont have these probs

I don't run Norton Internet Security and I know you can turn off images when browsing but I don't have my browser setup like that. Images appear on some sites and they don't appear on others and I have no clue why

I have also noticed problems with sites just not appearing at all.I can go to my sites..everything seems fine..If I try yahoo,google,porn********etc... I get nothing..my ICQ is also down...but I can reach other boards and sites just fine

It's @home fucking with us. My cable provider dropped their network and they dropped at&t from their network. Now their being devious and using some liitle program they dropped on our comps with their installation packages to fuck with our internet surfing and force our providers to pay them big bucks to get back on their network.
Ok, time to take my lithium

yys you are also on AT&T...hmmmm, I am wondering if it is their damn DHCP Servers...Before the break-up I had my own static IP, and the service was flawless, now I am on this fucked up DHCP crap and nothing works..the servers are always down...

[yys]

nope, not on at&t, I'm with cogeco up in Canada but were both not on the @home network

Ok I think the problem is only related to gif's. My browser seems to be showing jpegs but no gifs. Any ideas
