Hey guys i have a problem with internet explorer for dome odd reason it just dont wont to connect to the net anymore its like dead or something and because of that i can no longer connect to my MSN.

The only browser that works in Firefox which i use the most but i need to get explorer working again so i can go on MSN do you guys have any ideas?

This is what happends i open explorer then it just says page cannot be displayed but Firefox runs completly fine.

IE switches to work offline everytime I restart, check that.

That is odd...tried reinstalling it? Thats all i can think of...

ok how do i check that ?

It'll say it in the titlebar and workoffline will be ticked in the File menu.

ok i cheeked that and its not offline any other idea i should try?

Get a new computer.
I actually had someone tell me to do that once in the cilent when I asked about the alt-tab bug...and he was seirious. Seiriously stupid that is...

Anyways, try reinstalling it, if that dosnt work, try clearing all you registry data, I forget if thats possible in IE though.

Spyware. ADware. Get a new pc...

Get MS Antispyware first (if you have a not-so-genuine Windows it can be hard as they fixed the LegitCheckControl ActiveX control hack, try eMule). It's useful even without those problems you have. Having done that poke around the options, check if IE has the correct proxy settings. If your proxy died / switched IP and you didn't configure FF to use any proxy this could be the case.

I use spyware docter and a system advance optimizer to repair my regestry.
My computer is fairly new so i dont need a new one.

ill give restalling explorer a go but how do i uninstall it ?

wait a minute... why do you want to go to MSN in the first place? MSN works fine in firefox, are you saying msn messenger isn't able to connect to the internet either? my guess would be a firewall issue in that case... get gaim anyways... MSN messenger is all yucky and bloated.


PS: To Clairify, MSN messenger isn't the same program as IE so the fact that both are having a problem connecting is a sign of a third party causing a problem (spyware/firewall/corrupt service/etc...)...

Check your proxy settings, MSN will use the same proxy settings as IE would but Firefox will not. Goto Tools -> Internet Options -> Click the Connections Tab -> Click LAN Settings. See if a proxy has been entered.

msn and internet explorer must have a connection because when i try to go on msn it says internet explorer is unable to sign you in because internet explorer cant connect to the internet.

i dont get it tho because Firefox runs fine

ok i fixed it thanks funness there was some proxy thing that wasnt soppose to be there thanks everyone for all your help :)

No problem.

I still say you should get Gaim

hmmmm looks interesting Sinbad but i think ill might cheek out xfire because i always play alot of games while logged into msn and i forgot all about it when i start to play at least with xfire it will blink in the back ground or something

You need IE to use MSN? Thats news to me. Must be another example of me freaking out some messenging system. First: My AIM runs WITHOUT triton, with no problems. AT all.

Second: My MSN appears not to need IE at all...

It does, turn IE to work offline and try start up msnm.

I would, had I not UNINSTALLED IE.

I only use firefox.
