sp2 and broadband

I installed an old hdd with win 2000 to access this site
to ask for help. My "new" hdd has win xp pro on and I
installed sp2. My email works on xp only when i re-boot
and live updates come in automatically but I cannot bring
up Internet Explorer so guess it's some sort of
conflict. I obviously cannot download any solutions for
the xp pro sp2 using this hdd. any suggestions? can I just
unistall sp2?
Regards...........

Probably configeration problem in XP firewall, ie the firewall is blocking
access
