Please don't use IE with Freenet.  You don't want to compromise your anonymity,
whether you now feel you need it or not.

As for the problem you describe, it may be that you just need to keep running
Freenet.  When I've gotten those messages (and everything should have been
okay) I've noticed that they just go away after a while.  A small possibility
is that everything *is* running okay, but your node doesn't know about enough
other nodes yet, and the few it does know about maybe rejected your node's
advances because they were too busy at the moment.  Like a busy signal on the
telephone.

Remember also that Freenet, unlike other peer to peer networks, doesn't offer
the convenience of turning it on only when you want.  For the node to work at
all well, it needs to integrate itself into the network.

When I started my last office job, I learned everyone's name and got on a
conversation-basis with them sometime before I actually was able to get in on
the rumor distribution chain.  It's roughly the same (in effect) with Freenet. 
Run it as much as possible until you can reliably retrieve a few sites.

On the other hand, maybe there's a config problem?  Maybe try re-seeding the
node, by running freenet-webinstall.exe again.
