I'd try first resetting your Modem and Router. Generally that is the problem. Somewhere within your network, your IP addresses have fouled up. Give that a try first then let us know how it goes.

I tried that a couple times and it didn't change anything. I've also restarted the computer and tried network diagnostics too. Hmmm

What kind of router do you have? Most routers I think should allow you to "Renew DHCP Clients" Do you know how to get into your router and navigate once inside?

Also, make sure the under System Preferences -> Network-> Air Port -> TCP/IP that the "CONFIGURE IPv4" is set to "Using DHCP." Also in there you can try hitting the "Renew DHCP Lease" and see if that helps.
