IE problem

[Aries59]

I now have a cable connection and would like to use IE5 to access the forums instead of AOL. I can get to the forum directory but cannot access the induvidual forums with IE 5, but have no problems on AOL. I cannot cancel AOL until I get this worked out, because Bladeforums is an esential part of my day. Do I need to adust my settings or could the firewall be affecting my access? Any possible solutions would be appreciated.
