go to run
type "command"
then type "ipconfig/release"
then tyoe "inconfig/renew"
sans the " " of course
sometimes IE and pals will just get confused and that smacks em upside the head

if that does not work try doing a tracert for example:
open DOS prompt:
type tracert

see how far it gets and where it stops..it actually sounds like a possible DNS issue, or a firewall block somehow if the IP command above does not work

Start>Run>CMD
netsh winsock rebuild
Let it run then reboot, and you should be good to go again.
