Internet Explorer is working fine. It's the connection that's not working.

1. Check with your ISP to see if there's an outage.

2. Check your network connection properties and verify they're correct.

3. Define a new network connection.

When your internet is not working open up a command prompt window and try pinging a website.
Start then run and type cmd
in command prompt window type ping www.google.com
If you get successful replies then you are still connected to the internet. Try downloading another browser like firefox and see if that one works when IE is not. Here is a similair problem I was having with IE https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5208-11184-0.html?forumID=49&threadID=180773&start=0
