I don't want to call provider as it takes about half an hour to get through all trhe automated bs and then I get to talk to someone from another country whom I cannot understand and usually has difficulty understanding me

Go to Internet Explorer
Tools
Options
Connections
Reset or let IE configure itself
Check XP Pro FireWall Settings or better yet turn it off
Download another browser like FireFox, as it sets up it will configure and work, guarantee it!!

I need further Information first, but will venture a guess. From what you said, it cannot locate a Domain Name Server, or it is setup improperly.
