Problem connecting using internet explorer?

[cerberus98]

Hi everyone i seem to have abit of a problem. For some reason the computers on my home network stopped been able to load pages. They can connect to the internet (i know using a file sharing program) and they can also access some sites. i turned off windows firewall and that fixed it for a while but then the same problem happened again 5 minutes later. The computer hookwd up to my adsl modem can connect fine but the other 2 just cant connect. I can connect to them using remote desktop so i know my hub is fine but im a little stumped at the moment on what my next actions whould be. If i could get any help at all i would greatly appreciated. If there is any more information needed please sont hesitate to ask
thanks

So, your computer that is connected to the modem has a second NIC which is connected to the hub? Or, is all three computers connected to the same hub?

only one nic the modem is connected via usb

do you have a firewall? if so it might be blocking them.
check your security settings as well maybe ur security is to high for most sites
then check on ur connection (usually double click it on the task bar) and see if there is a good connection
and here is where i get to say this: www.getfirefox.com www.opera.com
