Hi.

I new here and new with windows 7, I search and found many similar problems but nothing help me.

I install windows 7 few days ago, all fine, but last two days I have problems to connect to youtube and another sites, rapidshare, First I think problem with internet provider, connection, router, but nothing, I have another notebook at my side, my actual it's a Dell Latitude D630, my olde at my side it's a Dell Inspiron 700m (with Windows XP).

From Windows XP (Inspito 700m) no problem to conects to this site, from D630 (Windows 7) don't conect, I try with many "browsers" but nothing, If I try conect to YOUTUBE I see the page, but video late many minutes and finally work. in XP for another hand, video start well.

Connection see's fine, I have acces to mail, web, only few sites with VIDEO or LARGE FILES (Rapidshare) have problems..

I have another Hard Disk with XP to this computer, try and work great, I belive it's problem with driver, but no 100% secure.

Anybody have similar problems with some sites, YOUTUBE or BIG FILES!!!!

Thank's for your help..

It seems like you're experiencing connectivity issues specifically with accessing certain websites like YouTube and Rapidshare on your Dell Latitude D630 running Windows 7. Since you mentioned that the same sites work fine on your Dell Inspiron 700m running Windows XP, the issue could be related to settings or compatibility with Windows 7 on your D630. Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try and resolve the issue: 1. Update Browsers and Plugins: - Ensure your web browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer) are updated to the latest versions. - Update Adobe Flash Player or any other plugins your browsers use for multimedia content. 2. Clear Browser Cache: - Clear the cache and cookies in your web browser to ensure that you're not experiencing issues due to outdated information being stored. 3. Check Internet Security Settings: - Make sure your firewall or security software is not blocking access to these websites. Temporarily disable them to see if the issue persists. 4. Check Network Adapter Settings: - Verify that your network adapter drivers are up-to-date. You can check for driver updates in Device Manager. - Try disabling IPv6 in your network adapter settings: - Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings. - Right-click on your network adapter and select Properties. - Uncheck the box next to Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). 5. DNS Settings: - You can try changing your DNS settings to use Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) to see if it improves connectivity. 6. Run Network Troubleshooter: - Windows has a built-in network troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix common connectivity problems. You can access it by right-clicking on the network icon in the system tray and selecting Troubleshoot problems. 7. Compatibility Mode (for old websites): - You can try running the browser in compatibility mode for older websites. Right-click on the browser shortcut, go to Properties, and under the Compatibility tab, check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows XP. 8. Try a Different Browser: - If you haven't already, try using a different browser to see if the issue is specific to one browser. Give these steps a try and see if it helps improve your connectivity to YouTube and other sites on your Windows 7 laptop. If the issue persists, please provide more details so we can further assist you.
