I've been using the W7 Beta for the last few weeks, and booted into XP today to play some games i have installed. However i noticed when i tried to look on the net for patches, that Firefox instantly came up with a 403 error on my homepage, which was wierd. So i tried other sites and all came up with similar errors or 'could not connect to server errors'. I tried IE and Chrome, also with the same results. Now i know its only a browser issue as i can check my email, use IM software no problems. Just cannot browse the net. No other settings have been altered in the browers themselves and i've checked my firewall settings, and AV settings to make sure nothing funky is going on there.

I'm running a few virus/malware scans from W7 at the moment in case XP caught something but they will take a while to complete so in the meantime does anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix it?
