To rule out Windows Live OneCare as the culprit, open OneCare, click Change
Settings and disable the firewall temporarily. If IE8 can access the Internet,
check if IE8 has been blocked by the OneCare firewall on the advanced firewall
settings. If it has been blocked, unblock it. If it does not appear on the
block/allow list, add it to the allow list by browsing to the exe file for IE8.
