Had the same problem, here's my fix: Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > uncheck all. You can access these settings from Intenet Explorer Tools too, but changing them there did not seem to do the trick. HTH

thank you

Please help my IE and the Firefox will not connect. Just before they failed. The computer identified and delkted a two trojans. I have been running spybot but I still can't connect. The wireless is picking up networks but ic an't pull up a webpage. whjat do I do?

Go to the tools option in the menu bar, select "internet options" from the drop down. Go to the "Advanced" tab and click on the Reset button below. It worked for me.

It is because your IE is infected by malwares.

You have to use other browser now. Or reinstall OS to work on IE again.

Hello to all,

Herewith a solution:
This problem has been bugging me on 10 computers on our network. I've changed all antivirus program settings, reinstalled the full OS etc, and lost my patience with IE.
However, not one to give up easily, tinkered around, and changed the following under tools>internet options>connections, LAN button I have unchecked the Automatically detect settings.
Et voilà! all 10 machines are humming along beautifulla. The same trick has worked for several friends suffering from the same problem on their home networks: all solved!
Hope this works for you.

Me too. Have you figured it out yet?

Thank You guys so much! I did the thing where you go to LAN settings and uncheck everything and clicked okay. I went to google and Ta-dah!
It works marvelously! Thanks again for the help!

it didnt work at all even though I unchecked all of them including automatically detect settings. Hv tried with ie8 as well but no luck. trying to upgrade to next service pack on my freeking vista to see if thats resolved. Funniest thing, embedded browser within real player works fine but not in ie or safari, etc...

The internet option > advanced > reset fix worked a charm. Thanks a bunch... First result on google search, first place i found a fix - ill be back when i have other issues
