To make sure its not a Internet Explorer problem, try pinging www.google.com in command prompt, you can do that by Start -> Run.. -> type cmd ok, In command prompt window type ping www.google.com

You should see something like this:
If it is pinging then the problem may be with you Internet Explorer.

If it displays error messages then there may be problem with your network settings.
