    The first thing you should do is to unplug your Modem and your router if you have one. The modem is the device that was provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you have a router (this is predominately to allow you to connect other computers to the internet of to share files and resouses) then you need to unplug it as well. To unplug the devices only unplug the electrical cord NOT the network cable (this looks similar to a telephone cord just a bit larger).

    So, unplug the power to both devices (be sure to remember which cord came from which device - it DOES matter). Then one by one plug them back in starting with the modem but wait a bit and watch the lights on the modem. The modem needs to synch-up. You may only have 2 lights at first. The power light and one more maybe. Once the lights stablize. THEN plug the power back into the router.

    Many times restarting the devices in this way will fix your problem.
