Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Hi,
I recently bought a new notebook. Its working fine apart from the fact that i can't seem to connect it to the internet.

When i click on internet explorer, i get the above error message. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. Ive researched a good bit on my desktop but can't find anything that works.

I'm getting pretty frustrated at this stage! Its pretty annoying when it seems like a relatively straight forward problem! :mad:

Hopefully someone here can help.

Thanks in advance!
