IE6 can't access one particular website - long

B

Brian

I'm having an unusual problem with IE6 on a Windows XP
Professional. It's on a new computer I've had for about
a month. Last week I installed the Microsoft "patch" to
the security hole in IE and Outlook. I'm having
problems accessing one particular webpage that I've
always been able to access in the past. now I was doing
so much moving data between my new and old computer over
the last month and using both at once on my desk that I
don't know if I've ever accessed this site on my new XP
machine, or if the problems came after I installed
the "patch." either way - here's what happens:

when I type the full url with www. I get a message of "We
can't find" the website. If I just type the url WITHOUT
the www. I get to the webpage, but the banner ads are
missing with "Action Canclled" in their place. This
would be fine, but when I click to go to the Member Login
page, I get "The page cannot be displayed."

I have no problem getting full access to the site on the
other computers on my network, so I know it's not the
ISP. I've also tried doing a System Restore to before I
loaded the "patch." I've also turned my cookies to
Accept All, deleted temp files, deleted cookies, checked
to make sure there aren't duplicate TCP/IP settings,
checked to see I don't have 2 of some .dll files if
memory serves (saw it on some MS site a few days ago but
don't recall the exact file name).

Does anyone have any ideas? I can access all other
sites, including secure banking sites with passwords and
so forth. The website doesn't seem to know, and since I
can accesss it fine on all other computers, this seems
particular to me.

Thanks for any input. Brian

"Action Cancelled" is often caused by this.

HOSTS file problem?
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be
hidden) rename it OLDHOSTS, reboot.
