Could you follow these quick steps?

Go to your configuration screen.
Open your network connections.
Open the PPP adapter. (double click)
Hit the "properties" button.
You'll get a list.
Scroll down to TCP/IP, click it and hit properties.
Write down all the information you see for your own refrence.
Is the radio button set to automatic or manual?
If set to manual (After writing down your information) set it to automatic.

I'm sorry. I'll be more specific.

Click start, and you should see configuration screen there.
If not, then go to your "My Computer" and to the left in the menus click "Configuration Screen"

NOTE: While following the steps above (after setting it to automatic) you MIGHT (worst case) loose your internet connection.
If this is the cause, please re-fill the information you are supposed to write down.

Goodluck!

Hmm. I dont see anything like "Configuaration screen" on either the "start menu" or the "My computer" screen

Could it be called something else???

I'm also browsing other forums looking for similar problems and found this link

I'll quote the user:

Okay, I just signed up for Hikari + Plala and nothing would work - MS Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Limewire, etc. Turns out that you have to turn "off" blocking. You can do that here, it takes 30 minutes to take effect. Working like a charm now.

(Click the button in the upper right corner that's got a little black in it. Once you go there, there are three buttons. You only need to deal with the top button. Simply turn everything off. Someone owes me a beer.)

You might want to get that translated as I know no japanese at all

Ah, [bleep] my dutch version of windows.
Sorry. My mistake. It should be "Configuration Panel"

Hmm that looks like it might fix it. I'll find someone who can translate for me and then report back here on the results. Thanks a bunch and I hope to come back here soon!

No worries!

The Problem has been SOLVED.

Ends up, It was my ISP. It seems that the default settings block these programs.

All I did was let a friend who speaks Japanese use my user information & paperwork, call the ISP for support, and ask them how to change it. He logged in with my username to the ISP hompage and changed one of my setting to allow all internet programs to be used.

Thanks so much for the help, Olrik! You helped a stranger in a strange land become a little closer to his friends, family, allies, and opponents.

Cheers!
