Determine if the problem is with your computer or the network:

If other devices connected to the same network are able to access the internet, then the problem lies with your Computer.

If no other device can connect to the internet then the problem resides in your network hardware or network configuration.

Try opening a different website or program:

There can be a chance that the website you looking for is down for some reason or the program you are using may have a server problem on its end. Try opening another website or program that accesses the internet to see if you can connect. If you have another browser try opening websites in the other browser to rule out problems with the browser. There might be a problem in the settings of the browser you are currently using.
