I assume you have an Ethernet cable from the cable\DSL modem to the
router, and Mozilla can open new pages on the WEB. I am never sure
when Mozilla is opening a new page or when it is just pulling it out
of cache. So at least refresh the page. If that works, you're
connected; the router\modem are doing their jobs. Don't mess with
that. Mail is some thing that a mail client does after there is an
Internet connection for it to use.
