I hope you guys can help. For reasons of space and the demise of WinXP support we've migrated to a Sony Vaio lap top at home It came with Windows 8 which I updated to 8.1 I removed the pre-installed 30 day trial AV software and installed Sophos which is what we use at work and are encouraged to use at home if we work from home, which I do.....and it's free. I have never had any problems with Sophos in the past so don't think it's the culprit here The laptop is set up for dual user and I have the admin rights on my account The problem is I cannot reliably connect to the internet through IE from the desktop. It will connect OK through the "Modern IU" app look alike panel. If I use the netsh winsock reset command (I really don't understand too much here, I'm just trying what I found on the web) It will work to let me connect to my home page but navigate away from that and it doesn't want to know Unfortunately, the software I use to connect to my work account (LogMeIn) works best in desktop IE mode. I can use it with restrictions through the app but it looks crap and I need to be able to see details I've also had to turn off the Sophos firewall but my IT guy says that shouldn't be too bigger deal as most modems are routers nowadays as well Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Apologies for the wall of text
