Im connected to the Internet, but browsers do not work

[junksen3]

I have a modem and a  wireless router and i can't connect to the internet via IE and FF.
I know im connected
however, my brother can connect to Xbox Live, but the wireless router does not work with anything which includes laptops.

See, if wired connection to the modem (bypassing router) works.

for some reason, my computer can connect now
the day before i started this thread, my internet was working, then later it stopped

if i try bypassing the router, how can i connect everything else?

This is only for testing purposes - 5, or 10 minutes.

i had the same problem before. what router are you using. i was using belkin i had the same problem as you. Now am using Linksys it work fine with it.

i have a subjection I DONT KNOW if its going to work or not. why don't try with a static IP address. if you dont have one you to create one and properly rout it to internet explorer. Dont use IE it sucks try firefox or google chrome.
