Importing web data to Excel

[jlsy]

Am using Windows XP + Internet explorer + Windows Office:
Am using a Dell 6000 + wireless LAN:

Tried to import data using <tools>, <research>, selecting <MSN Mone
Stock Quotes> and trying to download MSFT stock qote (all this per p
258/259 in Teach Yorself Visually Excel 2003) but I continuously ge
error messages indicating that the server / proxy server is not foun
even when I have no problems connecting directly to Yahoo using th
Internet explorer directly.

I have also tried to export web data directly from Yahoo financial t
Excel but with similar message.

Can someone explain to me why this occurs and what can I do to get th
connection between Excel and the Internet
