Hrms... all i can think of ATM is, check your proxy settings in IE.
Tools ---> internet options ---> connections ---> settings
Or..
Check your firewall rules. Did you stop IE from accessing the internet? Or any IP ranges?
LOL...I saw the subject for this post (Internet Explorer Problems?), and the first thought that came to mind is 'IE problems?! Big surprise there...'
I would follow Morfius's suggestion. Check your proxy settings. Also check your routing tables and make sure everything isn't set to send your requests right back to you.
Yep his Suggestion sounds best way afther my proxy settings normal mess them selves up fromtime to time.
my proxy settings is at 127.0.0.1 on port 1095 but i didnt change them should ? and 2 what ?
oh yes and ty 2 every 1 for there help greenies coming u r way
clike the option for automaticly detect settings and un-check the box for ur proxy that should fix it
Personally i would stick with netscape. I prefer the older versions like 4.x because since aol has taken over netscape it is becoming all pretty pictures and harder to get to do what you want. THe older versions are very solid and rarely mess up like IE. Then again thats just my opinion.
hhhahah
your proxy setting says 127.0.0.1? WDF? That's the loop back address! ofcourse your not going to recive any packets from other servers if it never sends out to them!
morfius, my proxy settings also say 127.0.0.1:8080 because I use Proxomitron. But prodikal, you haven't installed any adblockers or other similar software? Just uncheck the proxy, you don't need to use one at all.
Edit/Add: "loop back address" is usually called 'localhost' in the Windows world.
try automatically detect settings, in control panel- internet options- connections- {lansettings}

If all else fails, why not get opera, it's the fastest web browser i've ever used!
prodical have you fixed it yet?. This happend to me once do as preep says..thats what i did.
tools>internetoptions>connections>lansettings check there. Hope that helps.
i automatically detected settins still isnt working oh well i will fix it eventually
how about....move to linux, use mozilla/opera
If you really want to stay with IE and use proxies, try using Promomitron....
