Ok I can get mail Yahoo an all runs downloads an such; But I can not get a 
single page to load .. This just happened w\ in the last 20minutes ... I 
didn't install anything; uninstall or Nothing I was just surfin an workin 
on my site.. So now my question is What Up ?? lol I mean do I need to call 
my ISP an ream them out or is it something I can  easily fix here ?? Or the 
very least test something ...
<end>

Well, before I called the isp, here is what I would do.

1. If you have an external modem, turn it OFF.
2. If you have a network, turn off the network.
3. Turn off your machine, for a least a minute. (60 seconds)
4. Reactivate the network (AFTER the 60 seconds in step 3)
5. Reactivate the external modem if you have one.
6. Finally, turn your machine back on.
7. try getting back on the Internet again. If you still can't at this 
point, I would think about calling the ISP.

I consider "external modem" to be the same as a cable modem or satellite 
modem. Turn them off temporarily. What you are doing is resetting 
everything a little. It might just need a little stablizing.
