I am able to type in an address like yahoo.com and when i type my login and password and then press enter internet explorer brings up 'page cannot be displayed' the refresh buttion does nothing but if i click detect network settings it will let me view the page until i click on another link. this has only been happening for a day or so.

Knowing your operating system version, version of IE, and method of connecting to the Net could help us.

Does this only happen in circumstances where you're trying to submit data (username and password, for example), or does it happen frequently just in general browsing? For that matter, does it only happen with Yahoo or perhaps a small number of specific sites?
