Hello Everyone, After testing a classroom management application, I applied through it a block internet policy but after I disabled it, Firefox can't connect. I' ve established that when the website entered at the address page exists it loads for just a moment but when it pings it, it suddenly stops loading. However, when I enter a random address, one that doesn't exist, it loads until displaying the "server not found" error as it doesn't exist!! Please help!!!

Thanks in Advance, Jim
