HEEELP! IE died! (Fixed, nevermind!)
Ok, so here's the situation:
The lease on my house ended, so I had to move back in with my parents for about three weeks while I looked for somewhere to live and a job. I now have both. However, when I moved home, my computer sat without access to the internet for the entire time. I moved back, it's now plugged directly into the cable modem (yes, I know, not ideal, as if it went through a router there would be one more physical firewall for viruses and hackers to surmount). The net is accessible (obviously) but Internet Explorer absolutely, categorically, refuses to do anything but sit there and think, followed by it giving me a DNS error and refusing to access any page at all.
What the hell is going on?!?!?!?
The larger-scale ramifications of this are that I can no longer view windows media player streaming videos, as my only other browser at the moment is Firefox (wonderful in some ways, less so in others), AAAND...I can't view any pictures of any kind in MS Outlook or Outlook Express.
Any suggestions?
