Re: unable to connect to the internet

it's a scientific atlanta 2100 modem through comcast, and the router is
a netgear WGR614v8. I have reset both, even ran a direct line from the
modem to the PC, and everything says it should be working, but it's not.
I did a ping of yahoo, and I am connected to the net and DNS is
working, but IE tells me otherwise. I even uninstalled Norton, so I
don't believe there is a firewall blocking it. Is there a setting
within Vista that is stopping me from accessing the internet? it just
kills me because it worked fine before I moved and unplugged it for a
year.

-ETA:- I also tried using the command prompt "netsh winsock reset
catalog" minus the quotes and then a reboot, but that did not work
either
