Solved: Internet Problems. Please Help!!!
I am using a Dell studio 1555 with Windows Vista. My computer will connect to the internet fine but i can only surf the internet in Mozilla Firefox. It will not work in any other web browsers, Neither will it work in Zune, Windows Media Player, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, or pretty much any other program that uses internet. Please help.

Disable all firewalls and see if that changes things. This sure sounds like a firewall configuration issue.

Try booting in Safe Mode with Networking and see if it works that way with IE.

In Internet Options - Connections tab - LAN Settings - nothing on that page should be selected.
