One more possibility. Do you have a personal software firewall
running such as Norton Firewall, McAfee Firewall, Nvidia Firewall,
ZoneAlarm, Trend Micro Firewall, etc? If so, try temporarily
disabling the firewall and see if IE now works. If that fixes it, you
have somehow disallowed access to the internet for IE in the firewall
configuration.
