HI westmoon,
i had a proplem very much like the one you are posting about,
i found if you go to the tools tab at the top of your page and click on it-- a widow will open,
them at the bottom of that window you will see internet option's-- click on that,
then click on the advance tab to the right of the page that has opend up in front of you,
then click on the default connection's tab,
and this should clear you problem.
good luck
