I tried to make a dial-up connection...now my high-speed connection isn't working even though it's connected?

Question

It all started because I was trying to figure out how to use my smartphone as a modem. So I started to set up an MSN dial-up connection which didn't work, then IE said I was offline even though the desktop icon for my high-speed connection says it is working perfectly. Under Internet Options, it says the high-speed connection is set as default, and I deleted the one, never-used dial-up connection in the Network Connections list, so I'm totally confused. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
