I have reinstall the explorer but still won't work.I am sure there is not problem with my ISP. In option menu I have set everyting default, but still won't work.

scan your system for virii with a good, updated virus scanner.

as well as check for adware/spyware, by using an application like adaware.

you may also want to clear your internet cache, by emptying your temporary internet folder.

failing all that you may be faced with having to wipe your hdd and reinstall windows.

If the content advisor is activated then, some of the pages on the internet will be able to be opened depending on the rating.

If it is activated, you must delete it from the registry.

This might be a problem with the Winsock 2 setting, caused by buggy or improperly removed internet software. Check out www.cess.org/ispfix.htm , which will explain it better than I. There is a free fix and several others like WinSockFix by Option^Esplicit Software.
Also, check and see if your firewall has those sites blocked.
As always, back up, please do a back up before trying any fix! Good Luck Been there.

I also had a problem like this. It turned out to be that content filtering was turned on in my router. Once it was off... everythign was fine again.
