    I have a Vostro 1400 with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Wireless has been working fine until I tried to connect to a different network. Now the internet doesn't work on anything except for Internet Explorer 64-bit. I tried AIM, Internet Explorer, Firefox but they still show the computer as disconnected from the internet. When I open firefox, nothing loads and the screen is just white. I close it and the "Firefox has stopped working, Windows can check online for a solution to the problem." box pops up.

    There seems to be an issue with nod32's latest update.

    Try running the following on a command prompt: netsh winsock reset

    If that doesn't work, uninstalling nod32 will allow all your 32bit apps to work again.
