Got a problem on my girlfriends laptop.

IE6 connects to internet fine, but no other software will - Firefox wont connect, and the anti-virus cant connect to update (AVG)

It first happened when I updated firefox to version 2.0. I then uninstalled it back to older version but the damage was done.

I've tried using IP addresses to connect but it's the same so it's not a DNS problem.


So I'm paraying soeone can help us out - it's just so weird that IE can connect but not other software.

( it's not firewall, I've disabled that )

Are you using a proxy server? Have you tried to a system restore to the day before you installed firefox 2.
