Some programs can't access the internet

[gratefulme]

I have no idea what I did but some of my programs like p2p, and MIRC can no longer access the internet. I don't know if it's related, but I can't set up an ftp on this computer either.

I thought at first it might be my router, but my laptop is on the same wireless network, and they all work from it. Also these programs worked for a long time after I got the router.

Does anyone have any suggestions I could try?

It may still be your router if you only configured your computer to have the firewall that the router provides. Are you runing a software firewall?

No I disabled it to try and figure this out.

what did you do before this happen? any new install of programs? un-install of program??.. etc?

[gratefulme]

I can't think of anything.

Any other ideas guys?

have u tried connecting to the internet without the router?

unfortunatly I can't it's built into my dsl modem. But I really don't think it's my router, because it has settings to allow different p2p networks, and they are all set to go through. And before someone asks I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times.

try resetting ur modem/router to default settings to be sure its not a router problem. there should be a button somewhere to reset it..just hold it down for a few seconds. or look through the setup menu for a default settings button. write down any important settings beforehand

I tried that. I also tried opening all ports, and that still didn't do it.
