Connection Problem

Ok so heres my problem, I have a DSL connection my modem shows a connection is present and there is the icon in the task bar to show a connection is present all my settings are set up correct but when i open my browser (IE6) i get the 'page cannot be diplayed' error. I am unable to ping any internet address but can ping my loop back address (127.0.0.1) I have tried formatting my hard drive and re-installing everything from scratch but this has not worked. I have also scanned for viruses, trojans and spyware non of which are present. If anyone could advise me what the problem is or if you have any ideas on how to fix it please let me know its driving me crazy
Thanx in advance
 
If you have xp check thats firewall i had this problem or a stand alone one my block everything with luck some one can offer some better advice or help just make sure its not just a web site or page
 
Have you contacted your ISP, if you have, what did they suggest ?.

What type of modem do you have (USB/Ethernet)?

What's the ISP? Some apparantly have non-standard connection practices.

I know it might sound stupid, but have you read the manual for the modem, and checked your ISP's website?
 
I fixed it

Just a quick update i should have posted this ages ago

My problem was due to a faulty modem the DHCP had stopped working therefore not assi9gning ip addresses so the modem and computer were not able to see each other
