Hi,
Can another browser (Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, etc) display webpages? Can
Outlook Express connect?
[Assuming Windows XP]
Turn on the Windows Firewall (from Control Panel or Security Center) and
disable Norton Internet Security and other third-party security, privacy,
ad-blocking programs to see if one of them is causing this.
Another "XP only" possibility...
>From Start> Run enter
ipconfig /flushdns
Then clear the Temporary Internet Files and restart.
Check for malware. Download, update and run Ad-aware, Spybot and (if running
WinXP) MS Anti-Spyware (Beta.)
