Can't access some web sites

[Guest]

Would Internet Explorer be the culprit in me not being able to access certain
web sites (craigslist.com and metromix.com)? I know friends that can access
both these sites. I used to be able to and now get one of 2 responses: the
infamouse We cannot find from MSN or the Blank Page. Does anyone have any
insights?

Inconclusive results:
1. This workaround is for v.5.5, so I think this is why I cannot make this
work.
2. The first suggetion about changing Internet settings was already correct
in my broswer
3. So, I went to the Registery Editor to try the second option. I do not
have a file called "Internet Settings\SendExtraCRLF"

Keep in mind I can access all other sites, but at this time having only
problems with one site. Sometimes I get in, but most times I cannot.

Other suggestions?

Yes I do know it is IE v.5.5.
Do you have another toolbar installed other than I., If yes, then go to IE
Properties and click on Programs Manage Add-Ons and Disable all that not MS
IE Add-Ons.
Click Reset Web Settings while you are on the Programs Tab.
Try to assign the web address in the Trusted Site in Security Tab and in
Privacy Tab also by Clicking on Sites Button and Type in the Web address and
click on Always Allow.
Clear your Caches.
Close and Reboot your Machine and try the website.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Versions? IE6 on Windows XP, right? Is it XP SP2? (Look at IE> Help> About.)

Are you running the Windows Firewall or another? McAfee or Norton/Symantec
installed?

It *insists* on HTTP 1.1 and redirects here:

http://www.craigslist.org/


Try using the proper URL and protocol?

Robert - tried your suggestion...basically received similar results. For
example, when I checked my settings (which were correct) and then clicked on
your link...it displayed the home page. Then when I clicked on a link within
the home page - I get the infamous 'The Page Cannot Be Display'.

9 times out of 10 I cannot get to the home page, which is weird.

I'm not quite certain what to do, but suspect a 'bug' of some sort that
prevents me from access this page normally.

 

[Don Varnau]

Try disabling McAfee and AdWatch from Start> Run> msconfig> Startup.

Next, clear the IE History, delete any cookies from the troublesome sites
and delete the Temporary Internet Files *folder*

Make sure that you can see hidden files (Folder Options> View) Then
login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode) and delete the affected
TIF folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files] A new folder will
be created on restart.

315222 - A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=315222

Set the size of the new TIF folder at 50-60 MB.

I'm still looking for any suggestions as to why I cannot access
www.craigslist.com with any regularity.

I receive one of 3 responses:
1. 'The Page cannot be found' (powered by MSN)
2. 'The page cannot be displayed'
3. On rare occasion I get the site, but then can't access any futher areas
within the site.

Thanks!

My problem has been solved. It appears it had nothing to do with my browser,
but my wireless Netgear router. Thanks very much for all of your suggestions!
