I cannot get my internet explorer to load a page--no page
at all. Every address I try I get the "Cannot Find Server
Message" I have already tried repairing it twice, and then
I uninstalled, then re-installed it. Still no go. Is
anyone else having this problem. I can't seem to find any
link to actually contact a human being @ microsoft. Can
anyone help me?? Please?!? Thank you.
 
There are several reasons why you may wait a long time for
a response:

1. Others sharing your connection are sucking up
bandwidth downloading mp3 files or photos.
2. Your ISP is servicing too many subscribers at once.
3. The internet connection you are using is bogged down
by flooding attacks and spam.
4. The site's IP address was not registered to a
recognized DNS server.
5. THe site's firewall has blocked your ip address.
6. The site's DNS server is not working.
7. The site's telecom lines are overloaded
8. The site's servers are overloaded

If you receive a timeout error such as the following, it
may be the site's server or your brower setting.
Microsoft Internet Explorer error 10060 connection timed out.
-or-
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site web address.
-or-
The operation timed out.
-or-
The page cannot be displayed. Cannot find server or DNS Error.

So that you do not wait endlessly for the server to come
back with data when the server has a problem, Internet
Explorer imposes a time-out limit for the server to return
data. (five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01)

In Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1 or later (IE 5,
5.5, 6), you can change the timeout by adding a
ReceiveTimeout DWORD value in registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\
CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings with a data value of
(number of seconds)*1000. To set a 2 minute timeout
duration, set the ReceiveTimeout data value to (2*60*1000)
= 120000. Restart your computer.
 
I'm having the same problem, although I get a "page cannot
be displayed" message. So far, I've had no luck, either,
although I did not uninstall and re-install. How can I do
that? Thanks.
 
There are two ways you can re-install the internet
explorer: go through the setup/install I.E. process again,
or you can go to the microsoft download page and download
it all again. Good luck...if I find something that works,
I'll let you know.
