I am working on a work computer that says that it is connected to the network. All other computers on the network are functioning fine, but my e-mail and all websites will not load. I am using a coworkers computer to place this message.

Could be anything. You've been blocked by the company's firewall, you aren't going via the proxy, the proxy is blocking you, DNS issues...could be a number of things.

Can you ping the Internet? Try from command prompt:

ping 8.8.8.8 (if this works you have Internet connectivity)

ping www.google.com (if this works then you may have browser issues - try clearing the browser cache)

If both work, and you're sure your PC isn't at fault, then it's probably proxy or firewall related.

Have you reported to IT Support? ;)
