I have seen similar request for from similar XP user but I run Vista 32 bit on my laptop and I cannot connect to the internet through any browser. I can ping any website but the -R (ping back from destination) tag with ping results in time outs. I have tried the WinSock fixes as a last ditch effort but to no avail. It seems that incoming requests are being stopped somewhere, I cannot ping it from the router. I know I am missing something simple, someone please help me with a A.R.Inversion problem. -Frustrated
