Check if there's a proxy configured. If Firefox does the same thing, someone's messing with your connection to the internet (could be on your home LAN, otherwise contact your ISP).

Opera runs perfectly fine. But I started to get these problems with IE, Yahoo and MSN Messengers after being away from home on vacation for a week.

Opera sucks sure there's an ebuild for opera but it just get dropped to /opt, it's statically linked, and it's CLOSED SOURCE, which means that it is a BINARY package.
