hummm, you know, when there is problem with web surfing and P2P, there is a problem with your firewall app or config. I suppose you have Windows firewall on. I'm sure you have another one as well which might be the cause of your problems. Try disabling that application which might be an antivirus app. Then try firefox and LW.

If neither works, (and even if it works...) I recommend you to reinstall (backup then reformat your disk) windows.

When anormal things like that happen --- time for a reformat-- and be warry of what you install as programs to not fuXXor your system again.

Ciao
