I also use IE11 from time to time and it does not cause any problems.
Do these games have a local component? If so then perhaps it is doing something with uPNP, which is perfectly capable of repurposing network ports and causing all sorts of havoc. This is particularly true if they have some kind of local network multiplayer facility.
Have both problems recurred (calibre fetching news and CC failing to connect)? If so, then it is almost certain that whatever it is is blocking calibre's access to your local net.
Have you tried some experiments such as fetching news & connecting CC, starting IE11, stopping IE11, then fetching news etc? That will tell you if it is IE 11 by itself. They try the same thing but adding playing your game(s).
