It will let me load the google front page but whenever i try to search it wont connect, Lots of the sites just say connecting forever and never load but others work fine with no problems.

i have the same problem and it has nothing to do with the browser or websites. It might be a virus because i keep getting this adware thing in my virus protection, even though it says it got rid of it, it keeps coming back.

depends on your network configuration.
if you simply connect computer->modem->internet
then please check things like
ping www.yahoo.com
if have reply check telnet www.yahoo.com 80
if you manage to connect with telnet but can't display in browser then:
1.browser problem , reinstall
2. virus

if your computer is connected with web proxy it is possible that the proxy is down.or have some problem and what you are seeing is the proxy cache.
