    @litlewiki
    IE7 was released recently:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx

    @slice
    Did you try any winsock fixes? I know that has worked for serval people I know who had problems like that.

    IE is only in Beta 2 release still. I'm waiting for the final release.

    Maybe FF corrupted or messed something up for IE and Opera in an attempt to gain market shares.

    Strange that FF works though as your windsock registry keys are corrupt then wouldnt all connections be messed up too?

    You beat me to that comment. Not that I'd run IE whether it was in beta or in final release (read: gamma test), but to run a Microsoft program that's only in beta 2? I'm not a masochist.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.

    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
