HELP!!! - 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' - HELP!!

Question

Hello,I was curious to see if you could help me in ANY way? Even forward me to whom can? My issue started about 6 months ago. My IE, and Mozilla Fox don't seem to be working, it comes up with the following error message:'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpageMost likely causes:You are not connected to the Internet.The website is encountering problems.There might be a typing error in the address.What you can try:Diagnose Connection ProblemsMore informationThis problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:Internet connectivity has been lost.The website is temporarily unavailable.The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.For offline usersYou can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.To view subscribed feedsClick the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view. 'I know the internet is working, b/c I have LimeWire and for the past 6 months I've been using the browser through LimeWire, without a problem. Even just recently(2 months ago),my actual Router was down, so I had someone come and replace it, and he tested everything on his laptop, IE, and all of his browsers he had, they all worked perfectly fine.Well, if you could help me in any way, I seriously would appreciate it....Matt
