Hi,

First I want to apologize in advance if this is a rather simple problem.

Here's the back story. I live in Japan but I am from Canada. I brought my computer with me from Canada, and used it here for over a year with no problems. The other day my computer goes belly up which means I have to buy a new computer. Unfortunately, UNLESS I wanted an iMac I couldn't get a computer with an English OS. I can speak Japanese but not fluent, but I went ahead and got a computer yesterday. Brand new Toshiba Dynabook with Windows Vista Office Personal.

I connected to the internet this morning. I that was no problem and I was able to browse the web. I started downloading programs that I use to use on my old computer. One of which is uTorrent. I used uTorrent for months here with my old computer and had no problem. However, now when I try to run it, my internet connect almost stops. All browsers give me the "Connect Timed Out" or "Cannot connect" page. MSN Messenger seems to run fine still. The torrents download but I can not browse the internet while they download which limits me to one at a time. I PHONED my ISP here in Japan and they said it had nothing to do with them and was probably to do with the antivirus software. I turned off McAfee which came with the computer but still the same problem occurs. Once I close uTorrent I can browse again. I tried also using BitTorrent and BitComet but the same problem occurs. I asked some Japanese friends for help but all have said they have the same problem. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.I think I KNOW what you mean...

When my brother uses bitcomet on the other computer, the internet connection is disabled for everyone, ALTHOUGH when he uses bitcomet on this computer, the internet is fine.

It might be the program settings but i'm not really sure.

Wait a bit and someone will come along with a definite answer.Browse
or Torrent

It's up to you.
But i believe CDO made a good point above...Quote from: Blockenjr on August 24, 2007, 12:18:42 AM
