any ideas?
FIREWALL DEAD, or other network issues:

MS antispyware tool disables Windows Firewall: Start>Run cmd [enter]
netsh winsock reset catalog [enter]
Follow prompts and reboot.
The above fix only works on a machine that has SP2 installed. If it is
pre-SP2, use the WinsockXPFix.exe program (one place you can get it is
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html).
If that didn't work, see if registering the following DLLs helps:
From Start/Run, run the following commands:
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll
then
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netman.dll
Then do a reboot.
