- Let's say you're connecting wireless. What does the wireless icon in system tray say about the status?
- Or is it a wired connection?
- What does ipconfig (from Start>Run) say about your ip address and gateway?
- Can you ping the gateway?

You ask "what did I do wrong". Since you don't tell what you did it's impossible to answer. So please tell what you did since it last worked. Maybe you changed the modem, re-installed Windows, switched the modem off, didn't pay the phone bill so they cancelled your ADSL subscription?

And maybe you didn't do anything wrong, but it's broken hardware or malware on your PC.

Given the details I would never be able to guess what's up. How did you post this?

Also, why did you write "my internet?" I usually see "the internet" or "my router" but did you create the internet?

Is this Al Gore posting again?
