Looks like a firewall problem

Disable your firewall - if this resolve the problem, Ensure that your
firewall allows those programs to access the Internet.

If you have a firewall, *not* the Window one, disable the Windows Firewall.

My computer had a new hard drive installed recently and because of that
Windows XP was installed from scratch. I downloaded Microsoft Service
Pack 2 and after intsalling it my computer refuses to display web
pages. I can connect to the internet using my dial-up connection but
when I launch the browser it doesn't display any pages. I tried
Internet Explorer and Firefox and both have the same problem, Windows
Live Messenger refuses to work too. I went back to Service pack 1 and
everything worked fine. What can be causing this?
