I.E. is really flaky. Pages won't load.

I've had this phone for over a year and for some reason started having issues with internet explorer tonight. The phone connects to Sprint PCS perfectly but will not open up any pages in I.E. It says "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again." Any ideas what in the world is going on? Believe it or not I haven't changed any settings.

Just checked with WIFI and everything works great.

Would you guess this is a problem with the Sprint Network? That's what I would guess except for the fact that it does dial #777 and show that it's connected. Can't figure out why I can't load internet pages with the Sprint connection if it's actually connected.

Thanks a ton for taking the time to answer. I was checking settings like crazy and it was starting to drive my insane. I'll sleep better knowing it's not my phone.

I think its smth with sprint network. I'm getting smth similar on my laptop while tethering. With 50% chance pages won't open on first-second try. Few reloads and it works. Happens if I tether using my wife's a900 too. If I connect my work vpn it works much better, but drops connection occasionally. Been like that since yesterday.

Both my Mogul and my Mobile Broadband card are doing that too. It is really annoying. I tried changing my DNS settings to no avail.

Same thing happening here, except I've noticed something odd like this going on for a couple days now. I'm also in the Chicago area... I'm guessing it's a network issue.
