    hi

    This problem occurred few days ago, when ever i open utorrent to download something, i cannot surf the web, i have tried firefox and ie, i cannot go to any webpages, they just wont load at all. But yet i can log on to MSN and play online games like WOW. I used to do all of them simultaneously with no problem.

    i use windows vista 32 bit, 2gb ram, t7250.

    and also, when ever i restart my computer, i get BSOD after window's splash screen, and it restarts itself and same thing happens and it just keep looping non stop. But if i turn it off completely and turn it back on again, it works.... so i dont know what is wrong... i need a clean install maybe? sometime it pop out a installing update 3 of 3 before loading windows...

    i have just uninstalled vista sp1 rc, is that the problem??? but i followed the instruction from microsoft website

    please save my laptop ><
    any help appreciated

    Well I definately do recommend a clean install as well.

    And then get the final version of SP1 it'll be released very soon.

    As to the browsing problem... I have the exact same problem, once I load uTorrent, I cannot browse until I restart! Although MSN Messenger works fine! What gives?

    somewhere in the net
    "In utorrent, go to Options -> Preferences -> Advanced. The second option under Advanced is ‘net.bind_ip’. Set this to the IP address of your computer. Restart utorrent."

    cheers ...
