Can't connect to web based email

[bayrider]

title pretty much says it all.

I'm running Vista and can't connect to any web based email (hotmail, yahoo, gmail) on any browser (FF, IE). Don't use a firewall other than the default crap on Windows and on minimal settings with Windows Defender turned off. I have absolutely no idea what to look for as far as internet settings and what not. I did some scoping around but can't find anything as far as options or settings go.

What does tracert www.hotmail.com or gmail.com show?

Are you able to access non email sites?

What I meant by "This" was the same question that avpblogs asked. If he were able to access non email pages or not? :) ... I should have explained more maybe, sorry!

I found this on the Net it may help, take a look at it. :) .. Good luck!

I had just asked for a trace route to check how the websites are being reached thats all.
