Answer 1

try this if you are using XP

start>>all programs>>accessories>>system tools>>system restore.
this will allow you to roll back your computer to the settings that were on it 3 days ago, or to the last restore point when your Internet was working

Answer 2

Make sure your DNS server is the right one.

On Windows 2000:
1) Right-click "My network Places"
2) Select "Properties"
3) Right-click the network connection
4) Select "Properties"
5) Double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Here, make sure the right address is in "Use the following DNS server addresses." Contact your ISP to know what it is.
