My computer is being a megagayface.

I can connect and use the internet, skype, vent, MSN etc etc Azureus works fine but for whatever reason I CANNOT connect to ANY of my MMOs whatsoever and it's really weird. I'm almost 100% sure I don't currently have a firewall up (will confirm this with my brother who is a little more tech savvy than I later) and my brother says that there are no ports being blocked with the router. It is also just my PC that is going through this (we have three PCs and a two Laptops on the network) the other two PCs, one of which is mum's and has FFXI installed on it, one of which is my brother's and has WoW and Guild Wars installed on it, all three games work on their respective PC's yet with mine, which has all three of those games installed on it doesn't seem to connect to them at all.

Do you have PeerGuardian, or anything like that that blocks IPs? It keeps me from connecting to my MMO's. I freaked out one day thinking I got banned... lol

Format and reinstall windows.

It's a pain, I know, but trouble shooting this sort of thing without being at the machine is going to take forever. Reinstalling will take you a couple of hours and almost definitely solve your problem.

Send me a PM RJ and I'll see if I can offer some help.

See this is what I was planning if I couldn't get it fixed.

If my brother can't fix my computer then it's probably best that I just reinstall.

Or try to do one of them repair thingies I guess.

It's just easier, really. I've no doubt someone can solve your issue, but if it takes twice as long, and you're left with some other problem that's going to pop up randomly in the future, why bother.

I re-image my windows install every couple of weeks, but I realize that's a little much for most people. I'm also very lazy.

Me too actually, it makes recovery so much easier. When I built my new PC I got extra HDD space just for storing the image of the main Raid 0 array.
