When I try to access www.cbssportsline.com, I receive the following error
message... "HTTP 403 Forbidden - This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that
Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have
permission to view the webpage." I can access all other websites. Anyone
have any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks

Not sure why...maybe it does not like you. Accessed it OK from here.
Perhaps the security setup is too tight, blocking cookies. Websites
like these thrive on being able to put cookies into one's computer.
One other explanation is that there are just too many surfers waiting
to get into the website.

This message is not originating with IE, but with the Web site. The
Webmaster has chosen to block requests from your site, or your
browser, or (most likely) all requests. You can look up the whois
data and send an inquiry to the technical contact listed there.

Looks like you will have to take it up with your ISP (probably easier to get
blood from a stone than to get your ISP to change) - or change your ISP.
