if anyone would be able to help i'd me must gratefull

 

Unfortunately there can be many causes for this, including failure of the network adapter hardware.

First, do an IP stack reset.
Start, Run, netsh ip reset reset.log
Reboot and test.

If no joy:

If using Windows XP Service Pack 2:

Start, Run, CMD

netsh winsock reset
Wait for a prompt that a restart is needed. Restart your computer.

If you are not using Windows XP Service Pack 2:

Download and run WinsockFix. Reboot.
