CANNOT ACCESS PUBLIC WEB SITE

[Lorri P]

I have been trying to access a public web site called
www.aflac.com, to no avail on my new computer. All
others work well, no problems except that web site I can
access it at home but not at work. I have deleted cookies
allowed them as a trusted site, removed firewall that
didnt work, reinstated firewall. I spoke with my DSL
provider he said it might be xp that for some reason
another woman tried to get into a home shopping network
and it would let her. I could care less but I need the
site I sell AFLAC.
HELP!!!! NO ONE UNDERSTANDS HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN

Something about that site...

I tried getting to aflac via three different current browsers and none of
them would work. On a hunch I shut down ZoneAlarm Pro firewall and was able
to get through. I haven't had time to go through their HTML (and I probably
won't bother) but the fact that ZAP doesn't like it suggests that they may
be doing something odd at the site since it is not bothered by any of my
"normal" sites.

Well, I don't have any problems getting in and using the site with
Mozilla under SUSE Linux, and I don't allow cookies or popups, so
that's not it. Perhaps they use Flash and you need to get Flash from
Macromedia. Why not contact their webmaster?

Good luck,
