Hi Joe
Hello, group. Frequently getting an error message (HTTP 403 forbidden
-- you are not authorized to view this page) when clicking on links
in some Web sites. It happened again this morning when trying to view
a company's on-line new releases. And these are always links that
companies want people to view -- they're not restricted. ME IE6 SP1
DSL. No other problems being experienced, except ultra-slow opening
of the first home page when I open my browser. Any tips would be
appreciated. Joe Starin
