Vista Tutorial - Internet Access for Programs

06-12-2007

My Windows Vista Business machine at work is preventing non-Microsoft
programs from gaining access to the internet, specifically Firefox and AIM.
We are connected through a domain but I confirmed that there are not any
domain settings that would restrict this. The other Vista Business machine
here does the same thing. Any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks

Maybe it's blocked by a firewall.

Can you access websites with MS IE7?
Is your computer connected to a network?
How is the network connected to the internet?
Can you see & connect to other computers?

I think you're going to have to provide more info before someone can help.
