My IE and MSN stopped working

My IE and MSN stopped working 2 days ago. Is it some global issue here? I downloaded FireFox but I really want to use IE and specially MSN. Please give me a hand guys.

 

a hand given to you

 

Serious now: are you talking about msn and MyIE (aka Maxthon) or IE and msn (cause they just presented a beta here in Belgium) it seems to me that they still working on msn (still msn). maybe you have a network issue and therefor not getting the connection...

just my two cents;

Inf.

 

Not all, I'm talking about "The" IE and MSN, and yeah maybe I do have network issues, but the thing is that I need help fixing the prob.
Thanx anyway!
