New Router/Internet Explorer Connection

Hi,

Ive just gone onto Cable Broadband and as a result have connected a DLink Router with no problem.

I have both Firefox and Explorer 7 loaded. I have been able to access the internet using Firefox but I cannot access the net via IE7.

Anybody any ideas how I can rectify this?

Thanks in advance.

    Is IE set to 'Work Online' ? Click File and scroll down the list.

    Check that it isn't your firewall, if it isn't that open Fire Fox, Tools, Options, Advanced, Network,Connection - Settings and set it to auto detect proxio settings. Should work then but you'll have to set it up similar to fire fox for ie.
