When attempting to access the Internet I get this error message: “Forbidden you were denied access because: Access denied by access control list.” What is wrong?

This problem could be due to the Internet settings that were created when setting up a personal Internet Service Provider (ISP) account for your dialup connection at home. If you open the ‘Internet Options’ window from your Internet Explorer browser and select the ‘Connections’ tab. Then click on the ‘LAN Settings..’ button and a small window will pop up with your ‘automatic configuration’ and ‘proxy server’ settings. Some ISP accounts require these settings to be ticked but for your Halls Connection all the tick boxes must be unticked. If you are still using the dialup ISP service that these settings refer to we advise you to make a note of these settings so that you can restore them if you need to use it again. Untick any that are ticked and click ‘OK’, then ‘OK’ again to save the changes. This should enable your connection to work freely.
