Default Inernet Explorer question

This may not be the appropriate newsgroup for this question -- if not,
please point me in the right direction.

Here's the problem:

-- IE 7.0
-- WinXP Home Edition with SP3

I use a Netgear WGR614 router with wireless capability.

My desktop is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable.

My daughter connects with the wireless access point on the same router.

I have constant problems with the desktop computer when trying to surf the
'net -- at least one-third of the time when I click on a link, I get a
failure notice "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Most of the
time I can run the connection diagnostic and IE reports that it has restored
connectivity -- I access websites normally for a few minutes, then,
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" -- run diagnostic --
connect -- repeat.

I have been thinking that the problem was with my ISP -- however -- while I
am experiencing failures, my daughter with her laptop connected to the
wireless access point on the router is humming right along, not experiencing
any problems at all.

Anyone have any suggestions??

Do a NSLOOKUP for the sites and try plugging the IP numbers into the address field
in IE7. Have seen this work many times. After the site will open with the link
itself without any issues

Confining it to one computer is helpful and probably exonerates your
ISP for the moment.

When you have the problem on a particular site, can your working
machine access the site you can't? And I mean try this as soon as it
breaks if you can.

Is the working machine also running IE7?

Some malicious software will mess around with your browser experience
and either take you to places you don't want to go (redirection) and
instead take you to where they want you to go, or keeps you from going
to WWW sites that have anything to do with malicious software removal,
and other undesirable behavior.

I would first download Malwarebytes free software, install it, update
and do a complete scan. This could take a while to scan.

When the scan finished, there are other ideas from Microsoft (http://
support.microsoft.com/kb/956196) like to remove your temporary
Internet files (no harm in that) and to do some other things you have
already tried, but some of it is worth reading. Don't try to make too
many weird adjustments yet.

If you are entertaining the thought up upgrading to IE8 to try to fix
this, I wouldn't do that yet - to try to fix it. It should work just
fine with IE7 and you don't want to throw more variables into the
already compex equation. Get IE7 back to normal and working reliably
first.

Please try these things first and then we can hopefully have a clean
system to work on if it keeps misbehaving.
