Hello. I have been having problems with any 3rd party program connecting to the internet. It ranges from the programs I use from td ameritrade, to ad-aware trying to do updates, to utorrent... I have already made sure that all the programs are allowed in the windows firewall. I have also accessed the router/modem combo that my ISP had given me recently and tured off the firewall setting in the router.
I thought it could have been a port issue so after accessing the router I found there were no advanced options to do port forwarding. I then called my ISP tech support and they assured me they only close 6 ports that and the rest are open for communication and advised me that it was a local (windows) problem. I have even shut down the firewall completely and still have no luck. Any input/suggestions would be much appriciated.
