Hi,
Could someone please help me? I have searched through articles for hours and cannot find the answer on my own, so this will be my first post in asking for help. I have a 2wire router that is helping me connect through my Comcast cable line. My husband's laptop (Apple) connects fine. My PC laptop shows I have excellent connection, but I cannot connect to any web pages. Suggestions? Help? Anything...
Thanks, adi_999

Yep....agree with mechbas here!
If your connection has been established, but you cant recieve any web pages through your browser, then something within your own operating system is denying this.
If you are running windows firewall or another third party firewall, try disabling it, and see if you can access web sites then. If successful, you have found your problem. Dont forget that some antivirus software have their own firewall installed also (ie AVG pro) so you will need to check this out, depending on which program you are running.
You could also try rebooting your modem to see if this helps! (switch at the back)
It is then extremely important (from a security point of view) that you also re-enable your firewall after all this, and configure your access permissions within the software to allow future browsing!
Let us know if this helps!
Good Luck

Hey, I have the exact same problem. I moved and got comcast and it worked for a day or so but then stopped. My wifes laptop works fine, i called comcast and belkin and did trouble shooting with them and they said it is a firewall issue. I have turned my firewall off and i still cannot access , I am at a loss on what to do now.

Zxor has it right:
Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:
(For Vista or 7 type CMD in the Search box after Start)
Type the following command:
IPCONFIG /ALL
[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]
Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter. Paste the results here.
