Internet explorer not working for internet but FireFox is working Why?

I was using Internet explorer and through that I used to browse internet on my Yahoo DSL. All of a sudden it stopped working, that means I could not browse internet and everytime it says that 'Cannot find server or DNS error'.

After this I brought firefox in a flash drive and installed. That is working properly. Even my yahoo chat and other chats are working properly.

Can anyone help me out in fixing my Internet Explorer internet browsing problem?

Internet Explorer is fragile and it is subject to just about every bit of malware out there. I have dumped IE entirely, and you ought to consider doing the same.

Meanwhile, or if you won't get rid of IE, go to the Microsoft Web site and see if there are any updates to IE that you haven't installed. Get them and use them. If that doesn't work, eliminate everything associated with IE from your drive, use Firefox to go back to the Microsoft site, and re-download IE. Or do what I first suggested--stick with Firefox and give IE the heave-ho that it deserves.

Good luck!!

cause ie suxs
Try a restart. Windows always seems to need that. ;)
the best thing u could do is to reinstall it

if u have windows XP u can try the following:

go to Start-%26gt;control panel-%26gt;add/remove programs once u have this window open u will see 3 options and a left side panel select the 1 that says add/remove windows components. In here another small window will appear, inside u will see the Internet explorer icon u will need to uncheck and then click next to remove it from ur computer. after the proces click on finish. , this will get it off, and to put it back in take the same steps and this time re check it. that will put a brand new IE browser on ur computer and it should work like new.

Also if u have a firewall installed make sure is not blocking its access to the internet ;)
That's normal, most of Microsoft products r lame...Don't try to fix ur ie, u should keep using Firefox it is better (U realized it for urself), and other software besides that from Microsoft...Free software rock!!
Forget about using IE. Start and keep using Firefox, a way better web browser than IE.
Open the IE and go to tools at the top, then go to internet options.

click on the security tab and left click on eack of the icons at the top. Make sure that the Defalt is greayed 0ut on all of them, if not select default on them and apply. Then go back to the top and select connection. Make sure never dial a connection is checked. Left click on settings and make sure it is automatic detect settings checked. Left click LAN settings and make sure automatic detect is checked there too.... I hope this takes care of IE and it works again.
