| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | Fred McCall | 1/11/09 4:16 PM | I'm moving over to a machine running 64-bit Vista and see problems with Chrome any time the Outbound Firewall (in Windows Advanced Firewall) is enabled.

| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | gbkreddy | 1/25/09 7:18 AM | This is due to fire-wall (antivirus based or windows default). Once firewall is disabled, i am able to access chrome without any problems. |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | ikram | 1/25/09 9:43 AM | i turned the firewall off but it still does not connect to the internet giving an error 2 |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | Fred McCall | 1/25/09 12:01 PM | My problem is definitely due to the outbound firewall. However, I think "turn off the firewall" is generally a bad solution (although that's what I'm having to do right now). Everything else I can enable by telling the firewall to set an exception |

| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | Russputin | 2/28/09 12:40 PM | What are Google thinking of ? After the Vista fiasco, you would have thought that the big boys would test thier products more thoroughly. Chrome as it stands is barely fit to qualify as a beta release. I have Vista home premium 32bit running Trend |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | mike shep | 3/20/09 2:31 PM | I had the same problem, but neither Chrome or IE worked, but Firefox worked fine.

| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | quarterlife | 4/1/09 9:13 PM | I had the same problem as everyone else. IE & Firefox worked and Chrome suddenly stopped working.

| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | Dave_64 | 4/5/09 12:29 PM | THIS WORKS!!! Go into FIREFOX and download and install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10. This will clear everything up. Don't assume that if you update Firefox that Adobe Flash Player 10 will be installed. Download it and do it yourself. Please post a note if t |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | emylanec | 4/7/09 8:34 PM | do i really have to download it from firefox? i tried installing it from IE and it still not working. |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | emylanec | 4/7/09 8:43 PM | i downloaded firefox. same problems. cant connect to internet. i am now using only windows firewall. |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | Dave_64 | 4/8/09 7:08 AM | Yes it must be downloaded from FIREFOX. IE uses Active X, Chrome and Firefox use Adobe Flash Player. If you don't have Firefox on your computer you can find the download on Google. Let me know how you make out........Dave |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | Dave_64 | 4/8/09 7:14 AM | REMEMBER.......DON'T ASSUME THAT IF YOU DOWNLOAD OR UPDATE FIREFOX THAT YOU AUTOMATICALLY WILL GET ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10. DOWNLOAD IT AND INSTALL IT YOURSELF........Dave |
| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | drheim | 4/9/09 11:12 AM | I have a similar problem to a lot of posts in this thread and I downloaded flash player and it has absolutely nothing to do with it.

| Re: why can't google chrome connect to the internet? | AbsoluteFlooring | 6/10/09 8:14 AM | Google Chrome wasn't able to "find" any websites for me two days ago.
