My Son's computer was working yesterday and this morning he can't surf using IE 8 or Firefox. It appears Port 80 is being blocked. I have disabled the firewall temporarily and this did not resolve the issue. I did the "netsh winsock reset" and this did not fix the problem. I have reset my router with no change. I am able to ping the DNS, the Default router and his IP address within the...

I need to be able to connect to my Vista Home Premium pc from my office, preferably by remote desktop, but I cannot find any way to allow this. In network sharing - remote (etc) there is no option to allow RDC, and in windows firewall RDC is not listed in the exceptions. My router is configured to allow port 3389, so this is a Vista HP limitation. Does anyone know how I can solve this?
