Page Cannot Be Displayed

[UofM Student]

First, let me point out that I do have a working IP address, I've released,
and renewed, and I have rebooted several times.

When opening internet explorer, I always get a "page cannot be displayed"
error. I have autodetect settings on and no proxies. When I try to go to a
site like www.umich.edu. The same error comes up along with the page url
being changed to:
http:///? www.umich.edu

Is this familiar to anyone? Does anyone know of a fix for it. I have
uninstalled and reinstalled - NO DICE. I installed netscape and that works,
but I don't want to use that. I would like it very much for my IE version 6
to work on my WinXP Pro. laptop. (extra info: I am using an IBM thinkpad
R31)

2000. I am using a proxy. I am on the internet. Just cant
browse any websites. I tried reinstalling 3 times. no
avial. Netscape works, Mozillia works. How do i fix this
problem?

NOTE: when using lotus notes i am able to browse the web
using its intergrated internet explorer browser.
