I can't access internet or email. Mac G4 OS 10.3.6

Checked with service provider, they ran a test and said I was connected to their server, (my computer was able to ”ping” their server)
All other programs are fine, although I can't run disk utility, I just get the spinning wheel. Unfortunately, I can't find the original disk for this computer to re-install the original operating software.

What modem and/or router are you using?
Have you had access, and then any changes to s/w and/or h/w?
Anything get unplugged?
Do you have static or dynamic IP?
Wireless or ethernet hookup between the Mac and provider's line?
???
