Hi Bald Eagle 
Try start here and see if it helps:
With IE open, go to Tools > Options > Advanced. Click on the Restore
Defaults button. Click OK. Reboot the computer.
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site

or
try this: WinSock XP Fix 1.2 or this: LSP-Fix
also, try the infomation here:

Jan,
Thanks for the tips... My IE is back to normal. I tried the basic
diagnostics before I posted this question. Didn't work. Then, your winsock
suggestion got me thinking.... and I tried this simple command at the command
line:
netsh winsock reset
Everything worked from that point onwards. So basically it was a Winsock2
corruption (since I am using XP Pro and IE6). The article I had looked at was
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259.
Thanks again,
Regards
Bald Eagle
