I've been trying to access websites all day, from both my bookmarks and yahoo search. I keep recv'g an error

Question

The message is 'Internet Explorer cannot display webpage' when I yahoo search and some Ask.com search engine I didn't ask for when I bookmk search. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? I've made sure yahoo is my default search.

Answer 1

Sounds like connectivity trouble at your ISP.  If you're on dial-in, hang up and try again.  If you're on DSL or cable, try power cycling your modem, or just wait a day and see if it goes away.  If it doesn't then it's time to call them.

Another thing to try is clearing the cache.  If you use internet explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options and hunt for something like that.  If after clearing the cache, ALL web pages give you "can't be displayed", that suggests that you simply can't get to the internet.
