Folks, I have a problem that is driving me up the wall. I recently install Vista Home premium on my home PC. Everything was working fine under XP, I just felt it was time for a change of scenery. Anyway, the Vista install seems to have gone fine and the PC appears to be up and running correctly. I've used Window's update to download all available patches, internet is working, everything seems great. I then go to run any number of applications and I don't seem to be able to connect to the Internet (the first that I noticed was world of warcraft, I can log in to the patch download screen just fine but then it just stops, also BOINC can't connect to projects, WOW reader can't connect to dowload its patch. On the other hand lots of things work too, I can connect to normal and SSL web pages, I can download stuff just fine, I can connect to my network printer). I don't seem to get any sort of error, it just hangs waiting for a response. I've disabled, as far as I can tell, the Vista firewall, I've even gone onto my router and disabled my router's firewall just to make sure, even though it works fine with my other 2 PCs. I've looked at everything and I can't for the life of me figure out what might be causing things to just hang. I've read all the networking threads on these boards and others that I can find. Something seems to be blocking communication on all but the most basic ports. Oh and my router is a speedtouch (I think OEMed from Thompson). This is driving me insane, please help. Thanks
