You need to check two different things
1) Turn Off your windows firewall to see if the firewall setting have been changed and then try to surf without any firewall settings. Remember to turn off all firewalls, such as norton mcafee zonealarm etc.
2) Check to see if your web browser has a proxy setup.

Most of the Internet connectivity problems arise out of corrupt Winsock settings. Windows sockets settings may get corrupted due to the installation of a networking software, or perhaps due to Malware infestation. You will be able connect to the Internet, but the packets won't transfer back and forth. And errors such as Page cannot be displayed may occur when using Internet Explorer.

A high percentage of connection issues that occur when you have an internet connection but can't get a browser to hook in is due to firewalls. If your browser won't connect, first try disabling any firewall (you should never have more than one firewall on your computer) and then check for ability to get browser to hook up. If that doesn't work, then remove your firewall from your computer. If it won't uninstall, then remove it manually. Directions on manual removal of firewalls are available on the internet. I recommend addressing the firewall issue first before examining other possibilities.
My Firefox has used the proxy system settings. I don't know why this was set up that way. I have changed it to no proxy and now it works. But I cannot call IE to change the proxy settings. IE wasn't working anymore. The reason was a access problem for file C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\V01.log. I have renamed the file and at the same time a new file V01.log was created and IE is working again.
thank you!
