If I reboot, I am fine for a few hours, then no page opens again. Firefox
opens pages fine, as well as e-mail (Outlook) works fine.
Started with IE7 I upgraded to IE8 Beta, still the same thing.
I can open local pages on my PC, but not on the web.
If I go to Tools-->Connections-->LAN settings IE locks up and must be closed
with Task Manager. I have uninstalled IE7 and re-installed, same issue.
Working within a home LAN, all other PCs work fine.
All security settings at default levels.
What is my 1394 Connection? Windows seems to have added it as some virtual
connection, I tried disabling it, but same issues, it is back on now, but
why??

How does the PC physically connect to the rest of the system, there is
where the problem lies.

Physical connection is fine as Firefox and Outlook both connect fine. But it
is a 100Mbs LAN connection to a local NAT router and then to Cable DSL line.

In that case posting over at the Internet Explorer group would likely
get a quicker solution.

Use my free FixIE Tool. Download it here
http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm if still not working then use
my Winsock repair tool from the same page.

them is not an option.

Try clearing your cache and rebooting.
