Are you running a firewall? If you have XP, did you turn the firewall
option on without realizing it?
How are you connecting to the internet? When you answer that, post the
"[communications]" section from your core.ini file (c:\Sierra\gpl
\core.ini) -- it may be that we may notice something there.
Good luck!

That's all of it?
Not sure that it'll solve your immediate problem but you could do with a
few networking setting as well. Here's the networking part of my core.ini:
