Problem with connection

[gray_tragedy]

I'm having this problem with my Internet connection that I just can't figure out.

I have a Westell VersaLink modem that I use for my DSL connection and there are currently three computers hooked up to it: two desktops and one laptop. Most of the time now the internet is not working (we use Firefox). I've tried resetting the modem, disconnecting/reconnecting the PPP connection, etc., but nothing works. All of the internet activity seems only to be temporary. The thing is, though, my iTunes store loads fine 100% of the time and my IM services work. Any idea what the problem could be?

Edit: I also want to mention that when I go to a website, and then the connection wears out, I can still go to any of the websites that I viewed before the connection was lost, but I can't open any new ones.

you can go to the ones before because they created cookies/are in the ram or something along those lines. but does im or itunes store lose it's connection when you get disconnected?

Is there any wrong with your web page browser? Or just that the connection of your computer is to slow? I think you can can change your web page browser to have a try. Here is a IntelliLogin, I think it can help you.
Best wish!

Thanks for the responses!

phatkid5354: No, iTunes and IM never lose their connections.
liyunwinny: I use FireFox (latest version) but I haven't tried using a different browser. I don't know what could be wrong about the connection -- we've had it this way since January, and this just started happening. And forgive me for asking, but how will that IntelliLogin help me? It seems that it's only a form filler or something, or am I missing something ...?
