Since you didnt state what you have done or not, i will suggest the basics first.

1. Make sure you are connected to your ISP. Check cables, and make sure you are logging in(unless its DSL or Cable and usually its already on).
2. If you have connectivity check you DNS settings in network properties. Make sure you TCP/IP properties are set the way your ISP has intended. Most ISPs allow for automatic assignment(DHCP) of IP and DNS info. If they have given you static info to plug in for the settings do that.

3. If all that appears to check out ok you might reload your network stack. Remove network client, adapter, protocol and any other items you may have listed. Restart system and reapply the proper settings.

4. Try ping your own IP address and other IPs if you know any. If you can ping IPs but not Names then you know its DNS. If nothing works than there is a connectivity or possible hardware issue. If pinging works but the browser still wont get there check your proxy settings in IE. If going through an IP this is usually turned off.

Just some starting suggestions. Hope this gets you in the right direction.
