Solved: have connection but browser not working

All that happened was the network cable that connects to my space in the house was disconnected from the modem. When I reconnected, I thought I had no signal, but when I open the LAN connection it shows it working properly, but when I open IE I get the "not connected" screen. I'm running XP on an
HP6000 laptop.
It doesn't make sense to me that just unplugging and re-plugging the cable would cause a problem.

TIA

Adding the diagnostic log from IE7. Also note that the other computer connected to the same router is working fine. Am using it to send this.

Sometimes it's the simple things. I removed the vonage router that was giving problems anyway, and reset the network and now I'm back online as though nothing had happened. Thanks, and I will refer back to this if the problem occurs again.
Thanks so much.
