http error 10060

[Guest]

I need to extend the timeout period from 1 minute to 3 minutes.
I had tried the following:

Add a ReceiveTimeout DWORD value with a data value of (<number of
seconds>)*1000 in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
For example, if you want the timeout duration to be 8 minutes, set the
ReceiveTimeout data value to 480000 (<480>*1000).

But this is only available from ie4 to ie5.5 and I need this for IE6.

If someone knows how to do this, please reply to me.

This registry key should also apply to IE 6.
But according to this article, the default timeout for IE 5 & 6 is 60
minutes (see the Cause section):
