internet s

I can't get to the Internet with IE7 Vista build 5384. I can get to my other computers on my network and I can ping internet sites but IE7 and firefox will not let me get to the Internet.
Any suggestions. I am using D-link router and Motorola surfboard cable modem.
Thanks,

Hi Mate
I had similar probs with IE7 mine would freeze and CPU usage went to 100% i cured it by going to IE7 properties, advanced, rest explorer defaults, everything is sweet now...

As soon as I went to Vista, I was the victim of an onslaught of problems, firstly, Windows Explorer wouldn't work correctly, and anytime I'd load into a profile, I would get continuing error messages displayed until I logged out, somehow I bypassed this by using a seperate profile, in which it only came up one time, which still worries me.
Now, my new problem, I can't connect to the internet. I'm running off of an nForce 2 Motherboard from Gigabyte, the K7 Triton series to be exact. More exact, the GA-7N400-L board, this board contains onboard Realtek 8100c ethernet. Though, whatever I do, I cannot connect to the internet, my entire family's upset, as well as my being very perturbed after spending hours going over the seperate settings. I've tried it on DSL, which is the Internet selection at my home, and I've also tried it at my current location which is Cable from Charter, it works at neither and encounters the exact same problem. It states that there's a problem connecting from my computer to the network, then there's a red X in-between Network and internet. There's no activity at all, this is a great annoyance and I've tried everything in my power: (Modem Reset, Re-configurations, etc.) All of the basic things I've tried, I was wondering if anyone else here can help me, because I'd really like to avoid having to reformat my drive to get back to XP, thanks.
