    Check your DNS settings in the connection. If ok, you possibly have spyware. Try Adaware from Lavasoft.

    try pinging a site you can't access - if you get a response from 127.0.0.1 you have had something (ie malware) monkeying around and hijacking your HOSTS file etc. If you get a relevant ip address (nVidia seem to sit at 213.155.151.102) but timeouts I'd be tempted to run a tracert to that ip address and post back with the address it times out at.

    127.0.0.1 is localhost, you *should* always get a reply from that! could be something up with your hosts file tho. open it up in notepad and have a look
