You obviously have a good DNS if your other browser works. You could
also open a command window and try ping www.bbc.co.uk If that
works, then you have no DNS problems

Have you got a proxy server set up in IE? If so it would be bypassing
the DNS and sending everything to the proxy address. Your other
browser will have its own proxy settings (Why M$ started this trend of
the application, not the OS, having network settings I will never
understand)
