Outlook and Internet Explorer Problems

I’m having trouble with Outlook, It seems to fail to send messages, and has some trouble reading them. I get an failure to send message on the send/recieve console. It will also go on forever trying to send and recieve.

Now the Internet Explorerproblem is trying to load some pages. It takes forever, or just fails to bring them up. Can anyone help me fix these problems? I think they may be related.
