What other security? Like Zone Alarm?

amm, norton internet security..

any way of resetting ur dns settings in vista ?

Check the event logs: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/ar...dows-Vista.html

You might see some clue there as to what is failing.

I know in XP you can right click on a network connection icon and click "repair" and it will flush all the old cached settings. I do not know about Vista, however.

It has alot of unnecessary security, from what i have heard. I refuse to use it.

If I were ballsy, I'd create an alt called William Gates and go off on a rant and copy/paste some shit from the MS Technet forums to sound legitimate, but I'm too addicted to endure a suspension.

dns inst your issue if msn/yahoo work.

check the connection settings in IE/FF.
