Hi JOBEARD
Yes I had tried setting incoming rules for the firewall before even posting on here.

This is becoming a nightmare isn't it.

Let me reinstall Vista and see what that does.

Thanks again

TRY THIS FIRST

CMD Prompt and enter SFC /SCANNOW

Hi JOBEARD

PROBLEM COMPLETELY SOLVED!!! by destructive reinstall of Vista....

SFC /scannow found shed loads of corrupt files and reported that it couldn't fix some of them. Tried ping and still it didn't work.

After reinstall all network access is fully functional.

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all your efforts in trying to help me. I have learned a few things.
Cheers
Steve
