I'm assuming you're using Windows at the moment. I neat trick I like to try sometimes is going into Safe Mode with Networking and seeing if the browsing works in there.
While at work, download Mozilla onto your storage device as well. While troubleshooting web browser issues it never hurts to have two browsers to test with.
If you're using IE 7, also try resetting/nuking IE 7 to the default settings (Tools > Internet Options > Advanced "Reset...").
Hope this helps!
You know, I really don't know what to put here. Close your eyes and thank of something funny!
Pieman, if you can get to one website, but no others and other internetty things like email, I do suspect some stuff.
First, while you are still at work, download Ccleaner and take it home - gets all your internet stuff cleaned up.
second, when you get home, if you're using IE - you want to make sure your objects are empty - I use IE6, so for me, that is tools, then internet options, then General, then temporary Internet files - settings - in there, click view objects
Delete anything in there - the system will recreate it if needed.
good luck
We'll be back right after order has been restored here in the Omni Center.

Maybe DNS isn't working? Try going to an IP address instead of a name. Like, if you go to our IP of http://198.145.142.93, you should see a page proclaiming "It works!" If you can get THERE, but not to, say, http://CRZ.net/ (which is what's AT that IP), then you need to fiddle with your name servers until you get one that resolves for you.
(nslookup could tell you this as well.)
The reason I think this way is that if certain sites worked, they might be in your cache, but you might not be getting any new resolution results. Of course, we'd hope that The W would be working for you then, knowing you're here 24 hours a day.....
Alrighty! I am leaving work now to try all these things.
Hopefully, I will post again in a couple hours and you'll know that I will be here 24 hours a day! If you don't see me post again, have a Merry Christmas everybody!

After four days without home internet, our provider figured out it was something on their end. They said they would be trying some more stuff on Monday, so it might happen again, though.
