Media players internet problem

[cunokyle]

I use a couple of different media players including Winamp3, Windows Media Player, Sonique, and Real One. The problem is that none of them will access the internet to play streaming audio. Real One's internet browser will not even access web pages...they all say that I am not connected to the internet when I am. I have even tried to uninstall and reinstall the media players.

I use the Zone ALarm free personal firewall and have turned it off and still could not access the web. I do know that at one time I was able to access internet radio using Winamp...it was a while ago though.

I am running Windows ME. The players all play audi and video fine, they just will not access the web.

I also have discovered that Internet Explorer does not work either. I use Opera for web browsing and opened up IE and tried to access the web and it will not acknowledge that I am connected. If I click "Detect network settings" nothing happens...
