after downloading the last internet explorer patch that was issued last
month, i have had constant trouble connecting to web addresses. whether i
click on a link, or type in an address, i always get hung up, as if hitting
heavy traffic, and then get a "page cannot be found" or something similar. as
soon as i get this messege, i hit the go button on the address bar, and the
page loads ok. it is getting very fustrating and i'm starting to use the
firefox browser more and more as a result. i like IE, anyone know how to fix
this problem? i checked for support, but i have downloaded all critical and
available updates. -k.f.

That sounds suspiciously like a DNS server problem, not an IE problem, but if
you're only having problems with IE, it could be an interaction of the two.
That sort of thing has happened to me in the past but it usually was caused
by my ISP's DNS server screwing up. It's not much help, but you could try
talking with them to see if there could be a problem there.
Oh, and not to suggest that you don't know, but just in case, the DNS server
is what turns domain names (i.e. www.microsoft.com) into IP addresses.
