Default Internet Explorer and Firefox wont connect

Hiya guys i was wondering if any of you could help, for some unknown reason to me both firefox and explorer will not work. Both say they cannot display webpage, and i ran ms network diagnostics and it said

HTTP, HTTPS, FTP connectivitywarnFTP (Passive): Error 12029 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com: A connection with the server could not be established warnHTTPS: Error 12029 connecting to Microsoft Corporation A connection with the server could not be established warnHTTP: Error 12029 connecting to Microsoft Corporation A connection with the server could not be established warnFTP (Active): Error 12029 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com: A connection with the server could not be established warnHTTPS: Error 12029 connecting to www.passport.net: A connection with the server could not be established warnHTTP: Error 12029 connecting to Sign In A connection with the server could not be established errorCould not make an HTTP connection.errorCould not make an HTTPS connection.errorCould not make an FTP connection.infoRedirecting user to support call

I have no idea what this all means, and my internet does work, so i am baffled why these two programs will not work.
Any help would be great

Hi It is most likely a configuration problem who is your IPS so we can have a look at there settings or it they have a setup program for it. Has it worked in the past and stopped working?
