    Your firewall might be blocking it.

    Yeah, that might be the case.

    Go to:

    Start -> Control Panel:

    Find and click on Windows Firewall and make sure the 'Dont Allow Exceptions' is left unchecked.

    Now click on the tab labeled 'Exceptions' on top and add all the programs you want to be able to use, and your firewall will not block it. You might get a message when you launch the program, to either 'Block' 'Unblock' or 'Ignore'. If you wish to use that program click unblock.

    I guess youn can try disabling the firewall to test out the programs. If that does work, then its not the firewall blocking it.

    have you tried resetting both pc and modem? It could be a firewall built into your modem/router but it isnt the problem if it was ok previously.

    Give us a quick rundown on your setup and what you have tried..

    Do you use proxies?
    Do you have a firewall other than windows firewall?
    Have you run spyware/virus checks?
    Have you reset/cycled your modem/router?

    I think thats all I can come up with...
