Please bear with me - I am not a technical person and need help in layman's
terms. Since downloading SP2, I have not been able to connect to a remote
server for a webpage that I make changes to. I receive this message: Receive
error: blocking call cancelled. Connection failed main.miniature.net

The webmaster has no problem connecting so the problem is mine.

I also cannot preview the site after updating on my computer. I receive a
message that IE has blocked the active content.

I suspect I need to change the security settings for IE but have no clue
which ones to change. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
