Cannot connect to Internet

I've recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer, everything is running smoothly except I simply cannot get on the internet. My modem is working fine, all the lights are on but When I made a new connection in Windows 7 I couldn't connect and gave me an error. Also is said something about asking for a user name and password from my ISP which I put in but didn't work. I went into my XP and everything worked fine.
Any ideas on how i can connect to internet on Windows 7?

Looks like you have a connection from NIC to modem but cannot communicate with your ISP using Win7.
In Australia Windows7 has had a number of issues with one particular ISP and the fix is still several weeks away.
Have you called your ISP to see if they have any Win7 problems?
