Shaunno Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Windows has a firewall, you could try going to control panel then firewall, then check to see if google chrome is on the exceptions list if it isnt you can manually add it as an exception. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/security/winfirewall.mspx Towards the bottom half of that page is how to add an exception to your firewall.

Shaunno Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Does your other browsers connect ok to the internet? You could try re-installing chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 This is most likely your antivirus program (eg. McAfee Total Protection) blocking Chrome from accessing the internet. The firewall is blocking Google Chrome because the antivirus program no longer recognizes it - even though it is on the list of permitted programs. To fix this problem: 1. Click on Firewall > Settings 2. Click on Program Permissions 3. Click Google Chrome & the Delete button 4. Click the Add button 5. Browse for the Google Chrome.exe file (it should be in your User folder>App Data>Local>Google>Chrome>Application 6. Add the program and you're done!

Shaunno Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Try adding Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
