Whenever I start Firefox I receive the error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at google.com." However I do have an internet connection because I am logged on to my messengers. Internet Explorer was working fine but then I decided to upgrade to IE7. I restart the computer and now IE7 gets the error message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." I've resorted to surfing the web with Microsoft Fronpage . Help?

Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.

If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Restart computer.

If that doesn't work...
