How do I configure my network to watch youtube videos?

I updated Windows about a week ago and when I did I was not able to access the internet. I contacted my service provider (I live in a VERY small town and the only high speed we have is the one the town provides) and he walked me through manually entering the DNS, IP address and Proxy Server address. All are on port 80 which from what I've researched is what you need to access the internet (http, etc). The problem is, I can't watch youtube videos (it says for every video "Sorry, the video is no longer available") or even log onto youtube. I also can't upload videos to myspace or play any games on yahoo. I know youtube uses a DNP port to watch their videos but other than that I'm clueless with all this stuff. I already uninstalled and reinstalled Java and flash. I've contacted my ISP again and they tell me its a problem with Windows XP not their network. I'm not so sure about that, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  3. well its not a problem with windows but their IT people. if your paying for the service then they should be helping you through this. Try turning your windows firewall off and see if that helps though i don't suggest you keep it off. if it does help then the firewall is blocking the DNP port and you need to unblock it though i have never had this happen. you are right that port 80 is http but 8080 is also as 443 is https. not sure what port DNP is but windows firewall tends to block things by name and not port number. you can also try downloading firefox 3 and see if that works if it does then its got to be one of the settings with IE. give these things and shot and send me an e-mail if it doesn't work and i'm sure i can help you through it.
