Hi, I've been having this problem for the past 4 or 5 months now and have looked everywhere and tried everything. I found a new dell in the box, but it didn't have a hard drive in it so I took it home and slapped one of my externals in it, installs a copy of windows 7 ultimate, and was good to go so I thought. I tried starting Utorrent and downloading a torrent, and it stuck on connecting to peers, thinking that possibly my router, or ISP was blocking me, I tried the same torrent on my laptop, and the torrent worked just fine downloaded with no problems. Well, at this point I decided maybe it was just utorrent and tried other clients, but they didn't work either. Then I installed final fantasy 11 on my computer one day thinking to play it, and low and behold I can't connect to the game, hangs on the logon screen where you select your character and it connects to the game. And if it let it sit on that screen long enough you get a server timed out message I think and basically I looked up the error code and it means you can't establish a connection to the server. I've also tried connecting on my laptop to ffxi, and I am able to do so, so I know its not the router, I'm not being blocked by my modem either cause either of those would prevent every device from connecting to games and like I said the laptop works just fine.
Also I should mention I've tried driver downloads, replacing the ones I had with ones from the manufacturers websites. I tried everything on the internet I could find to type in your run box to reset settings, nothing I do seems to work.
My computer is a dual core running at 2.8 ghz per core with 3 gigs of ram so I know that windows 7 should run fine on this machine. I was connecting through my laptop at one point to get internet using an ethernet cable, but I was having this same problem, then I bought a USB wifi adapter thinking that maybe that was the reason and hooked the adapter up and the same problem is still going on.
