Hi,

Someone already responded, but I just wanted to add a few things.

It is doubtful that a virus would cause such behavior.

Is it random? Or does it always affect the same link over and over again? If so, try installing Netscape Navigator, and see if you have the same problem.

Visiting Microsoft's web site to check for Explorer upgrades is a definite must. They often release upgrades/fixes for their products.

Running Scandisk is also a good idea (as mentioned), should be able to pinpoint file corruption (if any).

Another option is to get the Dial-up Networking upgrade from Microsoft. I believe the file is called MSDUN13.EXE. It fixes silly little problems which might be related to what you're experiencing. And even if it's not related, it's a good idea.

The "protocol not valid" message makes me think that a network setting might be flaking out. Try giving your Internet Service Provider a call to ensure you have the right settings.

Hope this helps,

Richard
