418141 2006-01-04 08:07:00 For no apparent reason, Internet Explorer 6 on one of our PCs has stopped connecting to anything. Some might say that is the best thing that could happen to it, but, alas, sometimes you have to use it.

It is not a general connectivity issue, as Firefox and Outlook both work fine. With IE, if you enter a URL and hit enter, it just goes off into never-never land and never returns - no time out, just the little Windows symbol waving at you in the corner. All the settings look OK to me, and I haven't changed anything that I am aware of, so what could be happening? :badpc:

418142 2006-01-04 08:25:00 Hmm is something like Norton Internet Security installed on it??

A file in this can fail to start (ccproxy), and when it stops, so do you.

If you're on the net.

Altho, this would affect firefox (or any browser) too. BUT not Outlook.

Check under Settings and Lan Settings that proxy server is not ticked.

418147 2006-01-04 18:52:00 I found a change of settings in MSN Messenger had shut down connectivity to IE for me .

EVERY time I goto MSN Messenger I have to re-install it . I lose my . Net Passport and the connection to my router and modem (DSL) every time . It's nutty and even though I steer far away from IE . . I need it for Windows Updates .

I never lose connectivity with FireFox or Gmail or Hello or anything else I have .

I just attribute it to bad code or a shift in the time/space continuim and just iggy it as best I can . :lol:

Having three user names in MSN's e-mail has an interesting twist too . . . my primary s/n loses the . Net Passport, but the other two don't .

What's with that? :confused:

418150 2006-01-04 19:22:00 If you have Work Offline ticked in Outlook Express it will affect Internet Explorer and MSN as well .

Someone hasn't accidentally denied permission to IE in your firewall have they?
