Thank you very much Jim. But, surprisingly after coming back to office after
the weekend, the Internet has started to work,without me doing any thing!!!
Any ideas as to what could have happened; because, I tried resetting the
adapter many times between the steps followed by me?
Thank you

Try using Internet Explorer without add-ons. Go to
StartProgramsAccessoriesSystem Toolschoose Internet Explorer (no
add-ons). If your internet pages now show ok, I suspect you have a problem
with a plug-in or add-on. Open IE again and then choose ToolsInternet
OptionsAdvanced then choose 'Reset'. This will clear most problems - but
will also clear any saved passwords for websites.

Still trouble? Try disabling the adapter and then re-enabling it- solves
many issues
Failing that open device manager - uninstall the adapter. Then choose 'scan
for hardware changes' - should find the adapter and install automatically.
Saves a lot of command line work.
Good luck
