Look for crop circles on the lawn. My computers go nuts every time
that happens.

Let's try again....IE comes in version 5, 6, and 7. Which IE do you
have? The bugs, glitches, configuration problems, and screwups are
different for each version.

Answering for John:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings
Uncheck everything unless you really are using a proxy server.

If that doesn't work, and you happen to have IE7, try:
Tools -> Diagnose Connection Problems

If that doesn't work, check the program settings for IE5, 6, or 7 in
the 3rd party personal firewall you might have installed. If you had
one installed and uninstalled it later, make sure it's really
uninstalled by check the running programs for anything the belonged to
the firewall program. If you're clueless as to the names, download
the clean uninstall program from the manufacturers web pile.

If that doesn't work, we're back to the aliens.
