Yes - you have demonstrated that there is something in your system inhibiting connections.
Always the simplest things are the 1st to try - so if you are having trouble connecting try the following (1 at a time):
Reboot (- you should reboot a Windows/Vista PC daily)
Empty cache
Delete Temp Internet files
Reboot again
Reboot router (modem/whatever connection device)
Try an alternative browser (firefox/IE/chrome)
Try turning off firewall (you don't need your firewall off but this will tell you if your firwewall is blocking your connection)
Try another PC
In 99% of cases it will be one of the above causes and most of them are easy to cure.
