Internet Explorer will not display

balloo_2

How do I get Internet Explorer to display its webpage? http://uk.msn.com/ When it comes up I get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. and some things to try. Tried to do all that Nothing. I am not sure what IE i am running but don't know how to check that either. (I am older and not techie minded I do know how to switch it on though.) If I type an address or click on anything in my favourites it will open and work normally Any advice please except go to Firefox or any others

Darn option one not available
Ok select Help/about ie tells you which you have , then try clicking www.msn.com and see if it asks you to look for UK . let us know.

Ok try this
start button/ run/ then type cmd and press enter
this will bring up a black window
in there type
ping uk.msn.com
then type
ipconfig

Now copy and paste the output to here , you will need to click on the C:\ top left of the window there and select Edit/Mark highlight the output press enter then do a reply to the thread and paste (ctrl+v)

Ok it looks like that you are getting the right IP address for uk.msn.com - 213.199.164.110 something appears to be messing with your ie perhaps, what Antivirus Package have you got, also go to IE/Help / About IE and tell which version you have. Also you have windows Xp which service pack have you got, Control Panel/System/ it should say Windows SP...

Same error here IE and FF. Must be either site or IP (Talk Talk).

Seems to be only site affected for me but then I don't use it anyway.

Give it a few hours and it will probably be working again.

Not worth playing around with computer yet.

Probably the best option for now, as all else appears ok (other sites that is)
my ISP is not experiencing the problem it could just be yours and dogmary's too.
