Ok... so I just bought a new toshiba laptop and it arrived today. It's got windows vista on it and so far im very pleased and impressed with it. But there is one problem... I use bearshare pro and it will not connect to the internet. I cleared it through the firewall but that didnt seem to help. could it be the McAfee that came installed? Now the weird part is that when I open up bearshare it wont conect but then it also seems to knock me off of the internet all togather... I cant connect using internet explorer anymore untill I close bearshare and then disconnect my internet and then reconnect. I am wireless if that helps. Im runing Vista Premium on a Toshiba A205S4777 Notebook.

Thanks in advance for all of your help guys.

As you should be aware, we don't support p2p applications per our ToS. In all likely hood bearshare is not fully compatible with vista. Only thing we can recommend is to uninstall bearshare.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
