IE will only load secure pages...

[Kris]

This is strange... all of a sudden (after making no changes
to the setup) IE6 will no longer open any pages unless they
start https .... secure sites. Any and all other webpages I
get the standard "page not found" message. I'm posting this
through Netscape which works fine.

Any ideas on if this is some obscure setting or what? It
just doesn't make any sense to me why it would browse to
and open only secure pages.

Thanks,
Kris
