Internet explorer not connecting to internet

[neku]

I have an old windows xp laptop which I did not use, and which I wish to use for testing various software. The laptop has internet explorer preinstalled, and when I connect the laptop to the internet using wifi and try opening internet explorer, it is not connecting to any website. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?

I have not experienced it, maybe Internet Explorer is no more on the web. It was very useful in the past. This time most people use Google chrome as their browser.
