    Internet explorer connection problems
    Hi,
    Was wondering if someone with knowledge of IE could help out. Problem: unable to connect to www using IE7 even though I am 'connected'. I am able to connect to MSN to check emails and also update windows and other programs such as Norton live update but as soon as I try and open a web page I get 'IE cannot displaythe web page'. I have tried to let windows diagnose the problem but all I get back is that there are no problems detected.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Tell me if this works: Type 69.147.114.210 as the URL. This should go to Yahoo. If it works as I expect it will, we'll go from there.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your help but I've just managed to figure out what's been causing the problem. The problem started after installing a Microsoft update. This must have changed the firewall settings in Norton which in turn blocked IE! Such a simple little thing but caused no end of hassle!
    Once again thanks for your help.

    Cheers
