how do i enable ip routing?

[dchristman]

Question on this guys. From what I read this was working when he typed a web address in my computer which made me think IE was hosed. My Computer would also use port 80 wouldn't it? Was the firewall possibly only blocking IE and was this by program and not port?

Good point......

I'm sure these firewall applications can also block a program. As I think about it, this was probably what was happening. The real issue with dealing with these firewall applications, as I have found out, sometimes it is not enough to simply turn them off.

Hello all, I had the same problem. I fixed it by going into the device manager under network adapters, I deleted all of them. After doing so I rebooted and the laptop auto detected them and installed them again and my internet was back to normal. Hope this helps someone who has this problem in the future that has yet to visit this page.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm trying to fix my neighbors computer. It's a Toshiba Satellite L25. The wireless internet will connect but none of the programs will connect to the internet through a wireless LAN connection. The Dial-up and virtual private connections are on never dial a connection and nothing under the LAN settings is checked. I also have already reset the Winsock Settings and replaced the Internet Explorer, but the IE isn't the only program not using the connection. Like I said, it's the whole laptop.
