IE7 no longer accesses the Internet?

[Cast-it Admin]

I'm running XP Home SP2 and all updates installed, no virus activity or
malware (according to Norton AV, Spyware Doctor, or Spybot). Ican get
usenetnet and emails but.....

All of a sudden, yesterday when I launched Internet Explorer 7 - nothing!
the little circle just keeps wizzing round on the tab that is trying to open
my homepage (google). I can't get any web page, nor can I get Windows
update. I also tried going into advanced options and clicking reset, but
again, nothing it tries to loaded the runonce page but never get anyware.

I use Zonealarm for a firewall but there's no problem with that it permits
IE, I even disable ZA just to make sure.

A total mystery!!!!! - any ideas PLEASE!

Have you made any changes to your pc before the internet stopped
working? Temporarily disable your security programs and see if any of
them are blocking your internet access. Remember to enable them.
