Internet Explorer won't connect to the internet

I upgraded Internet Explorer on my Windows ME computer to
version 6.
when I start up the computer I get the message for windows update-internet explorer and internet tools:

setup has detected that a previous download was not completed.
do you want to recover and continue setup? when I click "yes resume setup"
I get the message:

The most recent versions of all items are already installed. It is recommended that you
exit without re-installing.

I can then choose to exit or re-install all components,
if I choose to re-install all components, I get the message:

Setup cannot continue because files are missing from the installation directory,
please run setup again and choose "resume setup" this will download the missing files and continue
setup.

If I click on cancel I get the message:
The update to windows is not completely installed on yourcomputer,
are you sure you want to quit setup?

This seems to be a catch 22 loop, has to get on the internet
to download the files it needs so it can get on the internet

The computer will ping ip addresses
so I know the network card is working.

Internet Explorer will not connect to the internet
Msn Messenger will not connect to the internet


My laptop is currently on the internet, so Iknow that's working ok too
