Office Pro 2003 Evaluation Kit - activation

[Monica]

When I try to activate any of the basic programs I get a message that says it
cannot find a connection to the internet. My internet is active - I am
on-line sending this message. Help!

Do you have a firewall that blocks outbound connections that may be blocking
it?

No, not the firewall, I turned it off just to be sure. I got so frustrated
that i just went out and bought the full version.
