Internet Explorer/Firefox won't pull a page after NOV Win7 updates

[Doomtune]

I just installed the mandatory WIN7 system updates in early November and now my IE and Firefox cannot pull a page on any site. I have turned off my personal software firewall and reconfigured my router. My wireless devices work perferctly but my desktop does not want to work. The network icon states that the Internet is connected but won't access it. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to troubleshoot the connection with Win7? If so, what results?

It states under the problems found: The remote device or resource won't accept the connection. Weird thing was it works after I just wake it up from sleep mode then 5 minutes later it stops.
