ok i will explain my computer on my network worked fine 2 days ago.
yesterday i was at a friends house and it worked fine today i am unable to
sign in to MSN or WoW on my network but i can still use explorer. (what
makes it more confusing) my friend (a XP user) signed into both problem
programs just fine on my network. (even more co nfusing) i am able to sign
onto my friends network and use all my programs just fine. i just want to
know what happened to my computer in the last 24h that would cause it to hate
my network but yet like others?

Recap
1 MSN and WoW dont work on Vista on my wireless
2.Msn and WoW work on XP on my wireless
3.Msn and WoW work great on Vista on my friends wireless
4. explorer works great on all connections
anyone confused yet?

Sounds like a port is being blocked on your router at home.
Try to find which ports are used for theses programs and enable access both
in and out.
Also is your router has NAS make sure that it is set up correctly.

i tried what you said the easiest way by bypassing my router and hooking my
internet directly into my modem and that did not fix the problem now my only
question is since my friends XP works (on my net) and my vista works on a
different network is it a problem with my vista or a problem with my net
since they both work just not together
