Whenever I try to open an email attachment or download a file, I get an error
message:
"Internet Explorer cannot download...etc.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found."

Has anyone come across or heard of
this?

Hi,

I did some search and found multiple articles on this regard.
SYMPTOMS
============
If you click the Save Target As command on the shortcut menu for a link,
you may receive the following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot download "Filename.ext" from "Servername".
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site.
The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
Please Try again.
This error message may occur if a Web page contains a link to a resource
that is hosted on another server that requires a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
connection and client authentication. The error message occurs only if you
have not already been authenticated in the current session by the SSL
server on which the resource is located. You cannot be successfully
authenticated by the SSL server at this point. You must quit Internet
Explorer and start it again to gain access to the Web site.
RESOLUTION
============
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Internet
Explorer 6. For additional information, click the following article number
to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
328548 How to Obtain the Latest Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack
WORKAROUND
==============
To work around this problem, click the link before you try to save the
resource by clicking Save Target As on the context menu for the link. You
can save the resource after you are authenticated by the server
