Assuming you're using some flavour of Windoze, try typing the following at a command prompt after changing your connection type (direct vs. routed):
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
add an "_all" to those commands (without the quotes) if you're using Windoze '98.
That should get you cooking with gas if you're using DHCP addressing. If not, your computer may be configured with a static 'private' IP address. Go into the properties of the TCP/IP protocol and configure it appropriately for your broadband account - probably as a DHCP address. *IMPORTANT - if it has been configured with a static address, WRITE DOWN THE SETTINGS BEFORE YOU CHANGE THEM. You'll want to reset them later.
Hope that helps. AND, I hope I'm not helping you bypass your daddy's proxy server... LOL
