[BNM] IE not working!! MS $h*te.....

[Simon O'Hare]

Could be one of many things...

Internet connection
DNS
Proxy settings
IE settings
Virus infection
Hosts file
Firewalling
...

The quick question would be does it work if you connect using another
browser, i.e. Firefox?

Anyone ever had a problem with IE where when you open the browser, it
doesn't connect to the internet?  I sometimes have to attempt to open IE 5
or 6 times before it will finally 'register' that the internet connection is
there and load a page.

It originally started happening with IE7, and I hoped the upgrade to IE8
would have fixed the issue.

I did have IE7Pro installed, but it was working fine with that, then one day
it started giving me this strange behaviour.  

I have disabled any and all plugins, but the problem persists.

It's rather annoying as I can't always view HTML emails in Outlook as that
relies on IE being able to access the internet.  Sometimes it will work
sometimes it won't.

Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling the whole of XP?

Many thanks.
Alan
