    Problem In Windows: Internet Explorer, Firefox, AVG updater all report "No Internet Connection". But 1 Windows program will connect to internet.

    iMac i7 with 4GB RAM. OSX 10.6.3. Parallels 5 Build 9344 using 2GB RAM. Windows XP Home SP3.

    I use a Windows program called MetaTrader4. It is a financial program and connects to a continuous data feed. This program connects to the internet successfully. I can see continuous changes in data, so it is clearly connected.

    However, when I try to connect to the internet with Internet Explorer 8, AVG antivirus update, Firefox, or any other Windows program, I get an error message stating "No internet connection."

    Windows firewall is disabled. I have no other Windows-based firewall. OS X firewall is disabled. I can connect with everything in OSX.

    How can 1 Windows program connect successfully, while nothing else can?
