Can't get any servers

Our ISP was taken over by another group and we've had nothing but problems since. Presently I can get e-mail on this eMac but cannot connect to any websites. I was told by the ISP to take down the firewall, expunge a SurfBooster program they suggested I put in and various other voodoo to no avail. The big but though is that I can get to Google etc. on an iBook so it seems there must be some corrupted material in the eMac. The ISP 'support' contingent tells me that they know little about Apple computers so can't really help me very much. This, needless to say, bodes ill.
Thanks in advance for your always wonderful help.

In your System Preferences> Network> TCP/IP settings, do you have explicit DNS server IP numbers entered? If so, note them down just in case, then clear the DNS server box and restart. It wouldn't be the first time an ISP takeover changed their DNS server addresses, and if they ever had you enter the DNS IP manually, that'd then break tour web browser but not your e-mail. If the iBook has the DNS field empty (which tells the Mac to query the ISP each session for he DNS numbers), the iBook would work.
