Is there any configuration changes by the local telephone company here? Also when I try to ping let say www.hotmail.com it reply request time out.

Number one, you can't ping www.hotmail.com, they've locked that down, so you should try to ping another site.
Number two, who's DNS server are you using? are you using your phone company's or do you have a seperate one set up?
It sounds like a DNS issue to me.
Try pinging another site. My site www.4its.org can be pinged.
That may help tell you.
(TechRepublic can't be pinged either)
Good Luck.
You can also set your DNS server to go somewhere else, you don't have to use your ISP's. Thereare plenty of DNS's out there.
