Loss of Internet Connectivity

S

sky

At some point in the last two days; 6-20, 6-21, me..... or a program I
have, may have automactly switched off the ability for my Internet
Explorer browser (IE 6.0.2900.2180 sp2) to finish connecting to the
Internet.

When I clicked on the desktop icon the browser would open, then.......
Go into a busy mode, and the home page would not load......

At the bottom, I noticed in place of the green activity bar there was
an icon that looked like a hard drive connected by pipe down to a
pipe.....It had a red x on the down pipe.
I know this signifies a network connection......One that is blocked.

Everything I could find, told me I had internet connectivity and it was
working........but
The browser wouldn't load the home page.......

I eventually cured the problem by using system restore, and going back
to 6-18

My question is, any thoughts on how my browser suddenly became
constipated?
And If was me, what to look for so I don't do this again.

Thank You in advance........Sky
