IE6 with SP2 - hotmail and google not working

[Guest]

Hi. i need help with mi IE6 with SP2.
For a few days now mi IE hasnt been able to load up my hotmail account or
even google.com! For hotmail, it allows me to access the main page but as
soon as i log in, it stops working and displays "page cannot be displayed"
message. It does the same thing for google and a few other sites as well. I
have checked over many of the support articles on support.microsoft.com and
taken many steps to try and fix the problem but it hasn't worked.

For advice specific to problems with secure sites, have a look at the first
link - for general advice, have a look at the second:

http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers.htm#dns

Hotmail is classed as a secure site.

The following has helped several people over the past few days:

Turn off "Use HTTP 1.1", turn on "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections"
(success seems to be dependent upon ISP)
