Hey all, i'm new here, and I have a problem

Up to now I was using a PC with Windows XP with a broadband connection (Router = Sagem F@st 1400W), however 2 days ago I bought a new PC with Vista, and I got the same Router connected and installed to the new PC.

Here's the problem, under Vista I can access internet through IE (although download speeds are slow, the sites still load just as fast) but certain programs cannot access internet (for example Steam or Windows Live Messenger).

Now I have disabled the Windows Firewall, Windows Defender and removed Norton, and also tried other stuff but nothing works.

I've also noticed that under Vista I can't access my router's page correctly (192.168.1.1) because the menu won't load (it says there's errors on the page...)

If anyone has any clue on what to do it would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks
