I need more background information. I need to know:
-Your operating system
-Your internet connection type
-Your network's topology (How many computers are connected to your network? What are they connected to: switch, router, modem? Can you use the internet on those? etc. etc.)
-Any changes you made to your computer since your connection stopped working

 Maybe your firewall is set to block all information as it may be harmful? A friend of mine had an issue like that... It blocked incoming data from FFXI because it considered it foreign and harmful. |

Did you try reinstalling your Internet Service and did you set your Internet Serivice numbers to work with that modem? Do you have a visur that's infecting that particular modem or deleted a virus that was? Did you try reinstalling the modem?

What do you get when you try to access a website? What does the status bar display when you try? How long does it take for the error message to appear?

Just thought I'd throw in my little tidbit: Have you tried restarting the computer?

Can you check your router (maybe it needs a restart). Do you use a NIC or is it built into the motherboard? (Maybe it needs to be reseated if it's possibly come loose.)
