- Internet Explorer does not load any pages. Upon opening IE, the
world logo in the top right corner spins but there is no text in the
status bar, and no pages load. I get the same result no matter what
URL I place in it (local or remote, DNS name or IP), but it will work
if I specify a local filesystem (c:\temp for example). I can also
load local HTML files without troubles, and I can close the IE window
without any troubles.

- If I try to access the Connections tab in Internet Options (via IE
or Control Panel) the dialog freezes. This also causes any open IE
windows to freeze, as well as Windows Explorer.

Sometimes a toolbar (such as Yahoo or UPromise) can cause this behavior.
If you have any toolbars, uninstall them and see what happens.
