ESPN.com Will Not Load - All Others Load Correctly

[G Burns]

ESPN website will not load on my computer. I have
uninstalled/reinstalled IE and the problem still exists.
ESPN website is the only site affected. All others load
correctly. I have also reinstalled Java (Sun version) with
no improvement. XP and IE are current on all updates. I
have tried registering various DLL files with no luck. I
have lowered (temporarily)all security settings in IE and
that didn't help. I can access the ESPN website from our
other computer which is utilizing ICS through a Linksys
router. Finally, I attempted a System Restore to a point
prior to the onset of the problem and that didn't work
either.

O/S = XP Prof, SP1
Browser = IE6

Did anyone find a solution to this? I'm having exactly the same problem with
ESPN, and only ESPN. I've removed the HOSTS file - no improvement. My other
computer (Win98se/IE6) connects to it with no problem.

O/S = XP Home, SP1
Browser = IE6, SP1

Thanks. Gary

What has worked for the two of us below is to disable HTTP 1.1 in Internet
Options/Advanced. I don't know why. Thanks to G Burns for suggesting it to
me.
