Nobody here has to help you and I doubt you will get any help with that attitude.

If iChat is working, then you have an internet connection of some sort. If Safari, iTunes and Software Update aren't connecting, then it might be a proxy server, a firewall issue, a bad DNS entry, custom security software that might have been installed... any number of things. The thing is though, if one service is working, then it's most likely not hardware.
