    Try get a fix for MSblaster you may have it did weird things to my PC also similair to what you have ie not connecting to net.

    To get on net disable error reporting on RPC (make sure you renable it when finished).

    It's not the blaster worm as we have a machine in our workshop doing the exact same thing-we've ran every scanner on it and nothing is being picked up.

    IE is a piece of dog poo, switch to Firefox as your browser

    This article:

    Was invaluable to me for fixing IE errors. The majority of the time, I've found that the errors occur in spyware modules. Find the module, verify that it doesn't belong to MS (This is all in the above article), and delete it. Then download adaware and run it, and presto chango, it all works.

    Ideally, but because IE is integrated with Windows Explorer, I'd always make sure IE is fully patched and works properly, even though I only use it offline to test web pages.
