i agree with binning correct connect!

I have spoken to people at work who have had the same problem, but found you if try to ping the default gateway from the command prompt, it is fine.

If you are behind a router, the gateway will be the router's ip address, and if not it will normally be your ip address with 254 at the end, eg if my ip was 81.109.111.113, the default gateway would be 81.111.113.254.

To check your ip address/ gateway- start -> run -> cmd (or command for win98/me) -> ipconfig
then to ping the gateway in the dos window, type ping youripadress, eg 81.109.111.113
