Ok, Lately i've been having wierd issues with Internet Explorer (6), and MSN Messenger (6.2). I can connect to the Internet fine through every other application but these two. I'm on the internet with Opera right now, and everything works fine and i'm listening to a shoutcast on Winamp. But i can't connect to anything on Internet Explorer, and i can't log onto MSN Messenger. I'm Running Zone Alarm 5, Norton Anti-Virus 2004 Pro. My Computer is getting it's connection through another computer that has a LinkSys Router, both computers are Running WinXP Pro (Mine is not running with SP1).

Here are a few suggestions. The problem is most likely you cannot acces secured web pages. Enable SSL 2.0 and 3.0 in internet explorer options. Make sure you have 128 bit encryption on IE. Download all the updates for windows and internet explorer. To make sure that you have the secure web pages problem try going to this website www.torrentbits.org If you can acces it you dont have this problem. if you cant you have this rpoblem. I had the same problem. Hope that helps and reply with the awnser.
