web access

[OnlyMe]

I have had problems connecting to the internet using Vista ultimate, so I
did a clean install with SP1 and installed norton ghost V12 so
I could make a backup of the clean install , I can connect to my ISP but
cannot go any further, there is no animation of the internet icon in the
taskbar even though it is turned (animation) on , the diagnostic link could
not give any answers, and when the internet icon in the taskbar is right
clicked and open the network settings (bottom of the list) it shows My ISP
to my Computer OK but from my computer to the internet is a large
X which means I cannot get out to the web________I have struggled with this
for quite a while and quite a substantial telephone cost_any help would be
gratefully received _____Thanks again Bill in OZ

With kind regards

How do you connect to the internet?
Through DSL, Cable, dialup?
Do you have a router?
Do you have a firewall enabled?
Usually you have to be 'online' to 'see' your ISP.

dialup
internal modem netcomm
MS firewall activated
I can get connected to my ISP and cannot go any where from that point

seems as if I am not the only one with this problem see below dave sextons

looks as if it is a setting somewhere __like MS vistas firewall not letting
me out__will check on this later
