Some programs do not allow internet access or connection
-- Have Vista Business. Cannot get downloads from certain sites, cannot get access to some sites, cannot launch Skype or Gtalk, cannot download license from netlibrary to listen to books, cannot launch McAfee Security Center Get varying error messages of cannot connect/download--check your internet connection. Home network without proxy and XP machines on same work fine. I have tried all the suggestions I can find such as shutting off Windows firewall, allow popups, iE7 options in LAN connections to allow automatic detection or not allow, etc. Internet access is otherwise fine for everything, get email fine. Any suggestions, as I am sure it is some kind of connection problem. For instance, I can download Gtalk and sign up, but cannot get a connection with Gtalk and get an error1 message. With McAfee Security Center, I finally got the download, but cannot get it to install and get a message "Download Manager is unable to access the Internet. Connecto the internet" but obviously I am connected. EEB
