Internet Explorer 7 won’t go online

[m_ridzon]

I am having trouble getting my PC to go online. In Internet Explorer, I get
the typical display when I type an address into the address bar…â€Page Cannot
Be Displayed.†I have plugged another PC into the network cable and browsed
the web perfectly, so I’ve isolated the problem to the PC. The option under
the File menu for Work Offline is unchecked. I have Zone Alarm installed,
but I shut it down completely to no avail. The Windows Firewall is disabled.
I am able to access other PC’s on the network through the Network
Neighborhood. I am able to Ping the other networked PC’s, back-n-forth on
the network. The router Admin page shows the PC as connected. In Network
Connections, the Local Area Connection and Internet Connection both show
connected. Other PC's on the network are able to browse the web perfectly.
I am running WinXP SP3 with Internet Explorer 7. Any thoughts on why this
wouldn’t work?

Thanks in advance,
M Ridzon

What happens when you use Firefox, Opera or Chrome?
