Yahoo on Internet Explorer

[Herm]

There are three PC's at my home connected to a broadband
cable network. One of them (My wife's new Dell)has not
been able to get Yahoo.com for the past two weeks. It
can however, get any other browser or any other web site
that we want.

For two weeks I've been trying to talk and e-mail those
$&%$^%*@# in India with no success.

Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Thanks
