IE won't connect even though OUTLOOK works fine

[Guest DFIGTREE]

Even though my router looks fine and outlook is sending and receiving

SOMETIMES NOT ALWAYS my IE will provide a message indicating that it cannot

connect to the internet, as if the router were down. Any and all help will

be greatly appreciated. Verizon Techs can not figure it out.

Start button --> RUN --> type in:

 

cmd /k netsh winsock reset

 

--> OK

 

Reboot the computer.

 

Come back and let us know if that worked.

Never download from a site where the author posts links to filthy

pornographic materials that they are proud they created to attack

others.

 

Winsock repair tool can be downloaded from a quality, reputable, good

site here:

Re: IE won't connect even though OUTLOOK works fine

 

Thanks for all the responses and help.

 

With the help of my ISP we were able to find the problem after numerous

phone calls and a gazillion hours on the phone. After trying to ping YAHOO ,

I received error 65. This was a long way from IE not working and OUTLOOK

working but when we pinged, neither IE nor OUTLOOK was working. The intermet

connection to the router was fine. Doing a search engine search with a

search key of "Microsoft error 65" yielded the following: "When you try to

check another network connection you receive the "Ping: transmit failed,

error code 65" error message" Which offered up several possible causes one

of which was ZONEALARM. I am using ONE CARE and stopped using ZONEALARM a

while ago BUT I had not deinstalled it in case I did not like ONE CARE. Once

I deinstalled ZONEALARM, everything returned to normal. Thenks again for all

your help.q
