I have a windows xp computer on a wireless network. I have had this setup
for a couple of years now. Last night I opened internet explorer and it
would not load any pages. I went through unplugging the router and cable
modem and plugging them back in. I still had no connection to the internet.
I opened the router configuration page in internet explorer and confirmed
that I had the correct settings from the cable company. I even released and
renewed the ip addresses. Everything looks like it should be working fine,
but internet explorer 7 and firefox 2 will not load any pages.
I am currently on another computer with the same configuration which is
obviously working fine. The only thing I can think of is windows update
might have installed something that is causing a conflict, but I don't know
what or whereto look.

Turn your Modem/Router for about 40 secs or so then your Computer for the
same length of time.
Turn On the Modem/Router and wait for a 30-40 secs or so then Turn your
Computer and try to connect and see if the connection will last.
If it doesn't then your winsock is damaged and you need to repair it:
Manually :
Open a run command and type in:
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Reboot your machine.
Or download this tool:
WinsockFixer;

Let it run and when it finished it will prompt you to reboot, do so.

Another, try updating the firmware for the Router/Modem.
