Answer 1

make sure ur internet is enabled

Answer 2

sounds like it's probably your router (my first guess)

go to a command prompt and type ipconfig.  The default gateway address is the address of your router.  type ping and then the default gateway address (probably something like 192.168.1.1  so you'd type ping 192.168.1.1)  If you get a response from that, that says reply from 192.168.1.1 time-x*x that means the connection from your PC to the router is good.  Now try something like   ping www.yahoo.com.

if you get replies, your connection is good.  If you get some replies and some timeouts, either the router or your ISP is jacked, and if you get no reply, chances are the router is jacked.

sometimes resetting them can help (power off, wait a few mins, power back on)

Answer 3

First, have you been checking the stats on your Network settings?  You might want to ensure that you've run Repair, on the status window..

Answer 4

call your isp and have them re-set your connection

I am assuming you are using dsl
