Microsoft sites

Hi, Ive just bought a laptop with VISTA basic on it, I can connect through
the wirelss and access google. yahoo etc but when I try any microsoft site
and various others it wont let me, I had this on my XP home and had to run
DRTCP and change it to 1392, When I tried this I see its not compatible with
Vista, I rang TOSHIBA and they didnt help at all, told me to re-install and
still nothing, Any help greatly appreciated

What do you receive if you ping Microsoft.com?
