    We have a Dell 640m running WinXP sp2. Recently, all browsers besides AOL ceased being able to connect, giving error pages when any attempt was made to use them. I tried IE6. Zip. I reinstalled Firefox. No joy. I installed Opera. Nothing doing. I tried the Winsock repair. Nada. I turned off Windows Firewall. No dice. AOL continues to function normally, but this is annoying AND puzzling. Any ideas?

    Did IE work on the pc at some point? Did you make any changes to the pc prior to IE not working?

    Can check Tools->Options->Connection tab->LAN Settings button->make sure nothing is checked in there.
