Maybe you have a bad cache

I have encountered a similar problem. If you use the ipconfig, I would suggest selecting Start, Run, ipconfig/flushdns. This can help refresh "Domain Names" that may have become bad over time. This is just gathered information and an assumption, so use cautiously and not willingly. For more support info on Microsoft Windows XP ipconfig, here is the website.

If that doesn't work, you could always try rebooting, although tedious. *shrugs*

IE sometimes won't connect to page

Quite often, my internet connection remains but although I can get emails

without any problem, when I try to connect to a web site it says Internet

Explorer cannot display the webpage. network diagnostics show "Windows

cannot connect tot he internet using HTTP. HTTPS or FTP. this is probably

caused by firewall settings" but it still happens if I turn my firewall off.

It happens a couple of times a day with no apparent reason. If I reboot it's

usually ok. OS is XP

That will do it. Refresh your link, however you have to do it.

I think you should be able to find a less disruptive way to do that

than having to reboot but many people claim otherwise.



Otherwise, if you left an IE window open but only visited sites you had

already visited with it (not necessarily cached pages) you might be able

to continue using them even though your DNS was failing. This is essentially

why you "can get emails". Either you already have a connection with your

E-mail servers or another DNS lookup for them is not required.



BTW this is not a problem with IE. You may get better assistance

from a newsgroup which specializes in networking for your OS.

Cross-posting for convenience.

Sorry but I know little about computers! When you say refresh, do you mean

refresh the page - cos that does not work. Is there any way to solve it

permanently?

No. I mean that an XP user needs to check with ipconfig if the link is still

present. If the link is in a router you need to check if it is still present there.

Etc.



You dropped the cross-post I initiated for the OP, so let's wait to see if anybody

in the proper newsgroup has any other more informed comment.
