Internet only works when my firewall is off???

Question

Yet when i turn the firewall on the internet does not work...what is the problem?

BTW this happened after i was browsing profiles on myspace.com & then my screen started flashing, does myspace have viruses?

Answer 1

Are you using the Windows firewall?  I believe this problem can be solved by going to Start > Run > and key in "cmd" (without the quotes) and press Enter.  Then  type "netsh winsock reset" (again without the quotes) and press Enter.  Follow the prompts and reboot.
