Hi,

1. Are you using a proxy server to access the internet?
2. Did you make any change to the network properties recently?
3. Are you able to connect any other application to  the Internet? For example instant messenger.

If you are not using the Proxy server then I suggest you to disable proxy settings. Follow these steps
a. Under "Tools" in the browser tool bar select "Internet Options".
b. In the "Internet Options" window that pops up, click the "Connections" tab at the top.
c. Click "LAN Settings" near the bottom of the "Connections" section.
d. If the "Proxy server" checkbox is marked with a check, click it to deselect/uncheck it.
e. Click "Ok" to close the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" window.
f. Click "Ok" to close the "Internet Options" window.

 

Now check if you are able to connect to Internet Explorer.

 

 

Hope this helps.
