Have a look in - Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Setup - and see whether it recognizes your connection or click on "browse the internet".

well i checked my account and it doesn't recognize my connection, however i also checked my brothers account and it is the same for him but he has access to the internet. this is weird. i believe all the trouble i am experiencing is related to some sort of virus, malware, spyware, adware crap on my computer that my anti virus programs/spy ware programs have not detected.
i have posted a hijack this log on my other thread, maybe hijack this found something
anyways i went to internet options-advanced and reset settings to factory default and i now have connection
thanks for giving me the idea of resetting my settings.
