Ok, easy now, might want to ease up on the tacos.
With mozilla go into EDIT -> PREFERENCES and in there under and advanced or connection there should be some that says proxy. Then go in an enter ip and port. In firefox EDIT -> PREFERENCES -> GENERAL -> CONNECTION SETTINGS and enter the ip of a proxy with the port number, go to http://whatismyip.com to make sure its working, and your good to go.
Sorry for being so vague. I went to Internet Properties (think it's called that), typed in my password, and changed my IP. The internet didn't work. Then I set it back to "autodetect". No change. Then I rebooted. No change. I have Phlak installed to HD. Thanks for your time and help regarding this issue.
