I appreciate your response but basically this did not solve the problem. You set of instructions may have been based on a newer version of TrendMicro but I was able to work my way to the same point and found that IE was already enabled.

While polking around TrendMicro I discovered that the firewall setting was set to Automatically detect the best available connection. I changed this to be set for my specific LAN. This did not help either. I still can not access the internet thru Internet Explorer.

When Enternet Explorer comes back with an error message it also allows me to run a diagnostic connection test. At the conclusion of the test it states "Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. This is probably caused by a firewall setting on this computer. Check the firewall settings for the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443) and FPT port (21)."

I could not find access to these port in the TrendMicro program. At thsi point I don't know what to look for in TrendMircor or Internet Explorer.
