Got this Johnny...

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information

This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

For offline users

You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feeds

Click the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.

To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)

Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.








But, Im not "offline" , I've checked the settings?!


done a test thing and no problems came up, said my internet connection is fine

untick automatically detect settings, but it will not help you I don't think

I cannot think why win amp is not working as the operating system can see the internet

Just comes up with this on the Media Libary

Sorry :

The media library feature you are attempting to use requires an internet connection. Please make sure you are connected to the internet and try again.

To be sure the above changes fully take place, close Explorer, Winamp, Windows and reboot the computer.
