Riddle me this one...

I can connect using AIM. But when I use IE, it can't
resolve http://www.microsoft.com

Also, MS outlook isn't connecting either.
Click to expand...

Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
