Hi amt7565 :-)

You may have to do a repair of your IE. Some files may have become damaged
or corrupted, but, there are a few things to check first.

What firewall are you using? Some firewalls can prevent connection.
Check your LAN settings to be sure the Proxy Server is UNChecked.
If you have Yahoo Companion or other 3rd party program(s), uninstall them.
What, if anything, did you change, install or remove at the time the problem
started?
Are you getting any error messages, if so, what do they say?
Please give as much detail about the above as possible.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
