IE not working but Netscape is

[Tom]

I can no longer get IE 6.0.28 SP1 to connect to the
internet. I am using windowsME. Netscape works just fine,
and I can ping from a command shell. When I load IE, I get
the "Cannot find server....The page cannot be displayed"
message. I have tried reloading IE6 and that has not
helped. I have tried re-running the "Home Network Wizard"
and that has not helped.

I should point out that I do have a router in place and
that IE can successfully hit my broadband router. I can
also hit the hd of my other computer.

I uninstalled my network card, tcp/ip and rebooted my
computer. WindowsME successfully reinstalled them, but I
still could not access the internet.

Again, Netscape has no problem, and Norton AntiVirus can
update itself.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Are you using AOL or Earthlink or somethingn to connect? I have a
friend that had the same problem. HE uses AOL. IE won't do squat and
Mozilla (Netscape) works fine.

I am using adelphia cable to connect.

I tried AdAware, LSPFix, SpyBot, and HijackThis. They all came back
negative! I even added a HOSTS file. There is something else going
on, I just can not figure out what!

Try uninstalling IE completely with IERadicator and then reinstall IE anew.

Make sure you have downloaded the IE6 setup files first, but not loaded.
Backup your Favorites folder.
