cannot access website

[pnoman]

I run IE6 and just ran into a problem. When trying to
access a public website, I get the famous "requested URL
can not be retrieved". Everyone else I know can. Also,
I can get it at work - just not off my PC even with no
security. It turns out that I can get to it from
Netscape 7.1 (not 7.0). I figure it is an MS patch that
I loaded at one time. What do you suggest? FYI: I can
ping the site fine from the command prompt.

pnoman,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK

Possibly your cache folder is corrupt:
