do you have a 2nd PC or laptop to test the same connection with? if this device can't connect as well, contact your ISP

if it can...

got to be a setting of some sort - have you messed about with any IP or internet settings? installed any firewall software of late?

have you ever been able to connect to the internet on this PC and sudenly this happened or is it a new setup thats not working yet?
