Internet explorer problems today?

Is anyone having problems with Internet explorer this morning? I can pick my emails up via outlook express, and I can get to this site via my favourites, but I can do nothing else.

Trying to pull up a new Google browsing page just gets me timed out, as does trying to access any other webpage from my favourites menu.

Have I broken something or is anyone else having problems too?

I'm with Virgin broadband BTW.

Thanks

    No problems here but I'm not on Virgin.

    I just checked Virgin service status and its green (no reported problems).

    Thank you again, that appears to have worked.

    Sorry to hijack the thread, but I have had similar problems since I downloaded critical updates to windows last week. I can connect to broadband, collect my emails in Outlook but cannot connect to any internet pages. Just get timeout messages. I have rolled back XP and this fixes the problem for a day or so and it happens again.
