i got searching around and found the problem. i had installed guarddog a few days ago and deleted it or at least i thought i did. when i stopped it i could get back online. i am now searching for guarddog so i can finish getting rid of it. -
Re: update problem
Of all the problems you're likely to have as a new Linux user, spyware or unwanted hacks of your system are among the least likely.

Re: update problem
meh - got some kind of ear infection, and the pain meds wore off at 4:00.
Thankfully, there are always Kubuntu users in trouble!

Re: update problem
Probably it is still running from the last time you booted. You can either open KMenu>System>Sysguard and then open the "Processes" tab, scroll down to guarddog and "kill" it, or else reboot your system if you want to make sure that it is actually gone permanently.Comment

Re: update problem
Ugh, I hate ear infections. I get them all the time. Fortunately, my eardrum has only burst once... Very painful.
Anyway, the simplest solution would be to open up Guarddog, go to Advanced, and define a protocol from ports 0-65535 on TCP, another on UDP, and then go to Protocol and enable that protocol in both directions. It won't filter any traffic this way.
Of course, that still leaves Guarddog sitting around...For external use only.Comment
