Angela,
It can be very difficult to fix network problems.
Please do this:
Open a Command Prompt Window (click START, then All Programs, then Accessories and Command Prompt)
In the command window, type:
ipconfig /release (be sure to put a space before the / )
and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
Wait a few seconds until it reports that it is done, and you get the flashing cursor back.
Then type:
ipconfig /renew
and press Enter.
Let us know if this fixes it.
If not, remind me: what type of Internet service? DSL?
Are you connected via a wire to the modem, or wireless?
