Try pointing your dns address out to your ISP's DNS servers rather than your router.
The prob is (was) that his DNS queries weren't rejected by the Yahoo server. A correctly functioning DNS client would have received a rejection, ergo his DNS client isn't performing lookups wherever it's pointed.evenflow said:
Tried the winsock reset and now no cxn at all. Totally exasperated by this now.
Have you rebooted since?TonyToniTone said:
try running eventvwr and see if tells you anything that might standout..
What in particular should I look for?Look in the system log for red errors related to your network.

Will Simon ever get online? Can TheGriffalo really be that good? Have Microsoft finally gone too far?
Find out, only on Pistonheads!

System Log said:
IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in slot 6, function 0.
Now not having done a degree in martian I'm not entirely sure what this signifies...a problem with the network card?evenflow said:

Can you please disable wireless on your "good" machine and connect to the Router using the same cable and port on the router as the "bad" machine.
In one swoop you'll eliminate Router (hardware and configuration) and the Cable from the list of possibilities.
OK, just seen this post having got back from borrowing a router from someone else. Plugged it in, switched on, and hey presto, here I am posting from the "bad" machine. Evidently it wasn't Vista at all, it was an errant router. Strangely, I could connect perfectly well through it using wireless on my laptop, just not ethernet wired from my desktop.In one swoop you'll eliminate Router (hardware and configuration) and the Cable from the list of possibilities.
Got both wired and wireless working now with the borrowed router.
Well, I've led you all on a merry dance. Thanks for all your help once again!
EDIT: LordGrover - I'm sorry if this is an anti-climatic end to the soap!
