Internet Explorer Problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

I have tried to reset my internet options on internet
explorer and each time I do I get the error Message: The
operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in
effect on this computer. Please contact your system
administrator.
Which would be great except I am the administrator on
this computer and I am not networked. I have a cable
modem on a wireless network. The modem is in one room
and I am in another. We did this so that when friends
come over they can access the web on my net.
What is going on and how do I fix this problem. I also
can not load Yahoo and can not update any number of
programs that require IE to load them. Please someone
come up with an asnwer. Many thanks
