    Besides repairing you could

    Have you tried checking your IP Address

    1. check your computer's IP address to verify it is valid and not a private address that starts with 169.254. An invalid address of the form 169.254.x.x signifies your computer's inability to obtain a usable IP address from your router. Start->run->cmd->ipconfig /all

    2. If it still did not help. do start->run->cmd->ipconfig /flushdns

    then ipconfig /release

    then ipconfig /renew

    3. Check your IP again by doing step 1.
