Vista will not access Microsoft

[Maverick Scot]

Four days ago, I purchased a brand new Acer laptop with Vista Home Premium
pre-installed. I registerd the MAC address on my wireless LAN (using a
Draytek Vigor 2600We router. I can reach quite a lot of websites either
through IE or Opera, but cannot reach Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Symantec and
others.
My laptop has 3Gb of RAM and an Intel core duo processor so it is more than
adequate.

I have never used Vista prior to this and have had absolutely no problems
with my former laptop (now defunct) and other visitors laptops using XP Pro.

It is most frustrating can you help please?

Check for new firmware for your router.
