KING: Please describe the nature of your problem and the steps you’ve taken to try and resolve it so far.

CUSTOMER: Well I can’t get it to load any websites. Firefox is fine, Chrome is fine, but any time I try to load something on Internet Conquistador I get a “cannot connect to server” message. Ie ven deleted my browser cache, and–
