If you're "sure" the software connect and appear operational then,
In Firefox go to Tools/Options/Advanced under the Network tab. Select No Proxy.
In IE I think it's Tools/Options (or Settings?), Connections tab. Fiddle about till it look OK.
I don't think you need to do the above unless you made changes there before. It could also be DNS settings somewhere.
I recall something from years ago: Always use the same USB port. Mine used to install the software with each new port used (that might have been my paranoid/strict security settings back in my Windows days). I use Ubuntu and a phone if I'm away from home nowadays, with no problems ever (was fed up with my E220).
Something else to remember/consider once you're connected and all is good - the more power your device have the better the signal. I used to have a long USB cable (with extra power USB connector), but a short high quality one works better (based on a Netgear WIFI device I currently use - or no extension cables even better). The E220 was temperamental and I always had to remove and connect it correctly (according to XP safe remove etc).
