hi,

i have a laptop that has a valid ip address. it has aol and aol connects fine. i can see others in the network and the IE inside aol works.

but IE off the desktop does not work. i tried the internet settings...security to cookies to even registry hacks. still nothing. so i took out my trusty jumpdrive which has firefox installed. firefox works flawlessly. so i installed firefox on the laptop and it works fine. yet IE still doesn't work. so i've isolated the problem to IE alone. i created a new user account and still nothing.

help?!?!?!?!

thanks,
