cannot access internet from browsers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am using a HP desktop with Windows XP Professional. My network
administrator has already installed SP2 for me. I have been using this
machine since the beginning of this year. It works fine and I could
access Internet through our LAN.

The start of the problem is that a few weeks ago I noticed that Windows
Update failed to install any security update since August. Then with
the help of my network admin, I tried several solutions but the problem
was not solved.

Finally, I uninstalled SP2 and install it again. After that, I found I
cannot access Internet using IE and Firefox. But I still can use MSN
Messenger. That means my machine still can access Internet, but just
the browses cannot.

Does anybody have met the similar problem and have a solution?

Thanks a lot!
