Cannot open web pages even though connection is working.

The is done differently in different browsers. The three most common are Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome. I'll list the steps for each.

Internet Explorer:

1. Make sure you've closed all open tabs, then open Internet Explorer for the desktop.
   

2. Click Tools, and or click Internet options.
   

3. 
   

Under the General tab, enter the web address of your new home page, and then click Apply.

Firefox:

1. Open the web site you want to set as your home page. If you want a blank home page, open a new tab.
2. Click the icon to the left of the web address, drag it to the Home button, and release.
3. Click Yes to set this as your home page.
   

Chrome:

1. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
   • Set your homepage
     When the "Show Home button" checkbox is selected, a web address appears below it. If you want the Homepage button to open up a different webpage, click Change to enter a link.

I know what you mean, have the same problem sometimes which is why I use firefox. Have you tried the microsoft support page for IE7 ? Also have you used the microsoft auto updater?
Maybe it can help, sorry if it doesn't.

First, check if you're able to open the webpages in other web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc.
If web pages are opening normally in other browsers then restore the Internet Explorer to default settings.

Restoring Internet Explorer7/8 to its default:

1. Start Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. On the Advanced tab, click Reset.
4. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset to confirm.


Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try to configure your windows firewall or antivirus firewall feature. or try mozzilla firefox for internet browser. if nothing happens pls let us know!

meaning does not have an internet connection ditek the laptop, it can be disable lan card or wire less lan it, visit the My network settings and view status of lan card. hopefully help you

I've been having the same problem after I change my Aztech router to D-Link. I hope these can help you because my problem solved after doing it.

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings and make sure you check the 'Automatically detect settings' option box and the other two boxes is left unchecked. Good luck!!!

My guess is the problem is with Firefox trying to print the page and not the printer. Try to go to File > Print Preview and see if it looks normal there. If not, I have 3 suggestions:

1. Try to change the "Page Options" or "Scale" under the Print Preview
2. Try to install and use the Firefox Add-On "IE Tab". This gives you the choice to display the page with Internet Explorer, while still using Firefox. You can turn on IE Tab, and then try to print. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419
3. Upgrade to Firefox 3.
