When I switched ISPs going to Comcast from Earthlink (and to broadband) my
Norton Personal Firewall stopped me from surfing.. Try this on the
off-chance it will work - go into I.E., click tools\ternet-ptions, and
delete everything you can (cookies, temp files, and history). Now close
out all I.E. Windows so you are at your desktop, then try to connect again
using your modem.
