IE6 on W2K on site msdn.microsoft.com

[Javier]

Hello.

I have IE 6.0.2800.1106 (spanish) running on W2KSP4 5.00.2195 (spanish) and
when I go to the msdn.microsoft.com site, I get always errors and the
navigation from the left side bar is impossible.

I tested the page on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista and it works, then I
assume the problem is in the computer with W2K, but I don't have any idea
where is the problem.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Javier

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

What third-party IE toolbars are installed?

Does this behavior persist if you first reboot into Safe Mode with
Networking?

A previous poster who reported a related symptom discovered
that User-Agent was the problem.

Hi.

I read the older post refered by Robert Aldwinckle and I tried pressing
CTRL+F5 and it works. I'm behind a proxy server, I think an older version of
the script on it was the problem.

Thank you for your effort.
