You say you cant BROWSE
But is there contact with the internet.
Try this please
In a dos box
Ping your local gateway computer( the computer on your network that makes connection to the net)
ping a computer on the net by its IP ADDRESS !!
e.g. ping 194.109.6.44 this is an ISP here in the Netherlands and is always on
If you can't ping this compu; the connection to the net is not good or your firewall/router does not permit it
If you can than try ping microsoft.com
Íf there is no IP resolution than the DNS does not work.
This means your PC can't resolve the IP address belonging to the name microsoft.com
Common failure !
If you check your IP stetting you wil find a tab where you can fill in a DNS server
Fill in 231.48.253.16 (this the DNS server from XS4all but that doesn't matter
Now you have to be able to browse the net.
You can go to the page of your ISP to change the DNS in theirs.
HOWEVER
If you're network also has a DNS server you should enter the IP Address of this external DNS server in the list of IP addresses on your network DNS server
