One user came to see me after the recent windows updates. Her machine suddenly lost internet connection after the updates were applied. From my experience, the problem is usually caused by firewall. I turned off the ZoneAlarm firewall and internet started to work again.
ZoneLab published an article about this issue. You can visit their site to download the latest updates for ZoneAlarm, or you can follow the instructions to solve the problem.
