Dave, you're more likely to get useful answers if you provide a bit more
information.
What method did you use to browse the network "before". Include any error
messages you receive when you now try. Otherwise, it isn't easy to guess
where the problem might be occurring and many people who might be able to
help you will just read your post and move on.
