Help, please... Why is this thing not working?

All of a sudden, it cannot connect to the 'net. Wired OR Wireless.
IE7 simply says "cannot display the webpage".

On a stock Acer Aspire 5100-3583 Laptop,
Win XP Media Center,
Wireless LAN card is Broadcom 802.11g
Ethernet card is Realtec RTL8139/8 10X

"Wireless Network Connection" says "Signal strength" is Excellent, and
"Status" is Connected.
I even plugged in an Ethernet cable... same IE7 result.

I did Start, Run, Cmd, ipconfig /release
then ipconfig /renew
then ipconfig /all ...
the IP, Subnet, and Default all appear valid ...
Under "Windows IP Configuration",
Primary DNS Suffix is blank,
Node type is unknown,
IP Routing Enabled is No, and
WINS Proxy Enabled is No. Does any of that identify the problem?

I tried updating drivers for both 'net adapters.

I THINK that background programs CAN get to the 'net...
Spyware Doctor from PC Tools IS ABLE to get version updates.
I can play Backgammon from MSN's Zone.com (I think it plays against
another person)
Simply,... IE7 cannot get a connection.

Any ideas? Thanks very much, people.

One or both should fix things.
