Can ping but not download anything.

[maddo]

Hello.

I have a problem on my home PC. My broadband is connected at 2.2Mbps and I can ping sites such as PokerStars but I am unable to actually download anything (webpages, virus updates, etc) using applications. Running PokerStars for example only gets as far as the startup dialog (the main window does not open). The network status option on the dialog shows I am connected at 100% to the various sites with no packet loss. Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems or has any suggestions to narrow down the cause?

Cheers.
