Sounds like a possible DNS problem. DNS takes the user friendly addresses you type in and translates them to IP addresses. The easyest way for you to confirm that this itsthe problem you need to try to visit a site by it's IP address. Type 69.93.141.100 into your browsers address bar and post back with the results. If you get to computing.net then it's a DNS problem, if not it's something else.

Thanks Totty I tried this but no luck. I can't use third party apps either ( Win mx, MSN messenger), so I think it might be a problem with the PPP adaptor? Any other ideas?

I think you probably need to speak to your ISP.
