Thanx just ticked the box in zonealarm...will see if that makes a difference...ALL computers have Zone Alarm on them when i've seen this prob ...might just be coincidence though
Cant connect to google through that either...its as if my internet just shuts off after 20-30 mins of non usage but it ONLY affects IE...if im using Limewire or Bit-Torrent (for legal stuff

) it still downloads ok...just the webpages that dont open when i click on IE...will report back though and see if this Zone Alarm thingy has worked...Thanx again.
