Hi Alex :-)

As you had stated before that you were able to connect to your games with
IE, I assumed that you did have Internent connection. Try the information
here and see if it helps with the connections:

Also..check the information here:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q175722/

To see if you do have connection,

To PING a site, you click on Start - Run - Cmd.exe and it will open a
Command Window. Enter PING www.msn.com (or whatever site you are wanting to
PING) and press Enter. It will show you whether you are having difficulties
reaching the site.

Hope this helps.
