Are any other browsers working?

Can you access your wireless router's admin? That'll tell you which side of the router the problem lies (sorry if that's obvious).

Well my iphone is working via wi-fi

Silly question, but if your browser's not working, how are you posting here?

(Ah I guess you are using your phone, then )

Which implies that the router can access the Internet so the problem (it seems) is probably on your computer or its connection to the router.

Sorry to ask again, but can you access the router's admin from your computer?

I had the same problem (IE9 vista) and solved it by launching IE without add-ons and then updating Flash from Adobe's website.
In vista to launch IE without add-ons type

iexplore.exe -extoff

in the start window.
But in your case it may be another add-on that is the culprit.

Fixed now it started working again.

Maybe this may help?

When you get the problem solved it may not be a bad idea to install another browser - Chrome/Firefox - for times like this

Edit: Asked a question, but see you have sorted it.

It's always polite to let others know how you fixed it.

I never did anything it just started working again.

However logged on the computer tonight and it was doing the same thing.

A question. Does your email stll work when IE doesn't, and if not are you sure it's not the signal strength on the connection. Sometimes my connection drops off in strength and the network strength bar gauge in the notification area aquires a small yellow triangle underneath it with an exclamation mark inside.

Next time it happens, right click the network icon in the notification area and then click Troubleshoot problems. Let Windows detect the problem, and if you're lucky it'll either fix it, or advise you what to do. It doesn't always work though because it's a badly written diagnostic and it can't always find the error. Or it finds the error but can't communicate that to you. It will write a diagnostic log though.

Have you got an HP printer and did you load an update to the software recently? I had the same problem and the only way around it after disabling all the add ons (try that first) was to uninstall the HP update program. Just a thought.

No not got an HP printer.

I set the computer back a year with system restore and it seemed to work fine. I reinstalled AVG.

Seemed fine and its playing up again going slow catching pages and cutting out with Internet explorer can't be displayed diagnose connection problems.

Working fine on ipad and iPhone just not pc so surely it's not the modem?

While its working, download and try another browser. Then you can narrow the problem down to being IE or something about the network connection on the PC. I guess the latter.

Right I installed opera.

Happened again with explorer. Loaded opera and it worked but when i claimed links on a website it said could not locate remote server? The PC says unidentified network no Internet access.

The wi-fi is working on my iphone so what could the issue be?

I think we have determined that the problem isn't with IE, but with your wifi network connection on the PC.

What make/model is your PC?

Acrer and its a windows 7 with sky broadband.

[JeffG1]

I think everyone has assumed that your computer is connected to your router via WiFi, but you have not said anywhere whether this is so, or if it is a direct connection.

If if is WiFi, is it possible to try a direct connection to see if that makes any difference?

(I don't trust WiFi for a permanent connection myself, which is why I bought a 30m cable from Amazon for a fiver to connect my computer upstairs to my router downstairs . I also get around twice the speed that way, too.)

[John259]

Has it ever worked?

If it used to work, were any changes made around the time that it started to fail? For example any significant software installed, any hardware changes, any configuration changes, a change of ISP, etc?

I'm sure you mean Acer, but a model number could be useful.
