Hi,
My Vista Laptop cannot browse once connected to the internet. This
means I cannot update my internet security systems nor my anti-virus
software.
I tried to search for other users having the same problem in your
Forums, and found this thread..."On Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:59:00 -0700,

disabled the firewall, but the situation has not changed.

"Paulski311", had exactly the same problem I'm now experieincing. That
is, at work, the laptop connects to the internet and browsing multiple
sites at the same time is fast and efficient. However, at home,
connected to my switch (5 port ethernet), I have no such joy. At home,
connected to the same switch, I have two other PC's running Xp, that
have no problem connecting to the internet. The ethernet connection
shows "Access to Local and Internet" and the ethernet diagnostic reports
no problems! I'd love to know from Paulski311 what he did to resolve
his problem or ask any of you out there if you can help me?
Thanks
Gary

You have given no info about how you are connected, or hardware sepcs, or
version of Vista!!!.
If a Router, get the latest Vista compatible Firmware for it.

The set-up here is not unique, but is rather "simple". The main phon
plug is connected to a duo phone port - that being a phone jack and
ADSL plug combined. The phone is connected off the phone jack and th
ADSL line runs to a USB "modem" (Speedtouch 330). The modem than has
line which plugs into a usb port in the PC
The pc has OS = Xp. The other PC's (all Xp, except the laptop - whic
is Vista) are connected to a 5 port - DES 100 5, Data link switch. As
said, the Xp machines all run smoothly and read the internet, skype
etc. The Laptop - No Go
