Hello, I am able to browse the internet using IE, however am not able to log into X-Fire, MSN, Ventrilo, or Multiplayer games.

I was connected to DSL at my old house and it worked just fine, but as soon as I arrived here and hooked up to Cable I haven't been able to do any of the previously mentioned actions.


I have googled, and searched various tech forums to no avail.

I found that this topic
http://www.computing.net/answers/ga...

seems to closely resemble what I am expieriencing. I have tried everything mentioned in that topic with no positive results. I do not have PeerGuardian or ZoneAlarm or any of the like.

I have completely disabled Windows Firewall but that didn't work. I have made exceptions on the firewall, and virus protection with no positive results.

Please, any thoughts, ideas, suggestions, advice, or anything else...post

Update: Just another thing to add...I have the same problem when I ran Windows XP in VMWare with no Firewall or any type of protection whatsoever.

I believe it's something with the IP, maybe when I moved things are trying to read the old IP maybe?

This is VERY frustrating
ANY suggestions PLEASE!
