According to "Shen", You might try logging in as an Administrator and typing the following in at the command prompt:"netsh winsock reset catalog"See his post at:http://forums.techarena.in/networking-security/1219556.htmI would be leery of the registry changes mentioned at the end of the post though. You can really mess your computer up if you are reckless changing the registry. "JohnWill" also recommends the above command at:http://forums.techguy.org/networking/518278-solved-internet-connection-problems.htmlagain try to avoid changing your registry if you can. Please just stick to the command mentioned above if at all possible. Warning:Absolutely no warranty express or implied comes with this post.
