Ok here is the scenario....

I have an IE browser (tried 5.5, 6, 6.0sp1. I am trying
to connect to our IIS 5.0 FTP server using the format
ftp://<username>:<password>@<hostname>/<filename>. Every
time I click on the link IE will give me page cannot be
displayed. On that same IE window if I reopen the same
above link the file will download. It just seems when I
first open the Ie window it will fail. This does not
happen on Netscape or Mozilla. Every time I click the
link or open the link in Netscape or Mozilla there is no
problem downloading the file. But in Internet explorer
the first try will always fail. Any suggestions, I have
tried clearing the Temp Internet files, lowering
security, turning on and off folder views, nothing seems
to remove this error. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem---constantly, but you get
further than I do! I click on the links on home page of
MSIE & still get ERROR 404! Not including all the spam &
freeze ups. Face it. MS cares less about anyone or
anything except themselves. So, if you know of a way to
totally remove MSIE let me know. I'm going to switch to
Netscape. I don't get this type of problem with Nestcape
either so if MS would lose about a few million people who
use MSIE or MSN & switch to something else maybe then
they'd do something. I heard the "red hat" from lynx is
going to be as good or better than Windows XP. If it is,
I'll be switching.
Good Luck

Any other ideas?
