Cannot open browser

[kemperhills]

My wife's laptop will not open IE11. When the IE icon is clicked the browser tries the open the webpage shows up in the address bar and then and a page opens that say "webpage cannot be found" with an HTTP404 error code.

That is strange enough to me, as I have never had that happen before, but I have two desktops in my study that started doing the same thing at the same time. On one of the desktops I was viewing a page, clicked the wrong button and closed IE. When I tried to reopen IE this happened. On the other desktop I was streaming a movie on NetFlix and I closed NetFlix and tried to open IE and the same thing. Now, to me anyway, it gets stranger. I also have an Acer tablet in my study and it will open IE and load my homepage.

I have tried system, didn't work. And, my wife has Google Chrome on her laptop and it will open and load the homepage.

My homepage is Yahoo. The computers will, if I set Internet Options, to the MSN home page load it. I can also stream NetFlix and ESPN by clicking on their icons. But I can't load Yahoo with IE.

Anyone know what is going on. Thanks.

Let's see if we have this right. All at once, 3 computers all cannot open the Yahoo homepage only on IE11? The tablet I assume does not have IE11? Correct me if I am wrong.

How are all these computers connecting to the internet? All wirelessly?
