hey guys.. i can't seem to connect to IE.. when i try to open up IE, it tries to connect to some weird IP address.. it loads for about a minute before displaying "Cannot find server"..

oh yea.. i tried repairing it and it still does'nt work!! what to do what to do?! I ran Adaware and Spybot and got my Hijack log checked.. and still nothing works..

I installed Mozilla Firefox and that works perfectly fine! but some of my programs that i use for work is setup to print from Windows IE..

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?! :tazz:

What is the IP adress it is trying to connect to? Also go to internet options and go to the connections tab and make sure you dont have a PROXY turned on for it. Also try disableing your firewall and see if this fixes it.

Well doing a whois on that IP adress returns it to the FED EX corporation. What do you have your home page set to? Do you happen to have any fed ex software installed on your pc?
