I have a pc that when connected to the home network shows that it is
connected. I can see data moving when I go to status, and can ping yahoo.com,
and other web sites, and have an ip address, but when I double click on
Internet Explorer, it comes up with "page cannot be displayed". I have
checked the cable connections, and done basic troubleshooting. Any
suggestions?

You might have IE configured to use a proxy server?
In IE, Tools->Internet Options->Connections(Tab) ->
LAN Settings.
Make sure all checkboxes are unchecked.
