Default Internet Explorer cannot open Internet site

Hey guys I see someother folks are having the same problem as I am. I posted in the Forum issues section but doesn't look like there is any help. Is this a problem with the site or what? One of my laptops as of last week puts up an error that reads "Internet Explorer cannot open internet site" the other laptop has no problems. Any ideas? Sorry for posting in hear.

You need firefox, ghostery, no script, and fastest fox add ons. Come to the dark side.

Yeah... ditch IE. Firefox is much more user friendly in general. Otherwise you might check to see if you have an old version of IE. You might need a software update to fix the issue. This especially may be the case if you have problems on one computer but not another.

Latest version of I.E. here... Yup... I hit a few snags here and there as well. So what's the deal with Firefox and why is it so darn good?
