Wrong News Group, Just FYI.
 
Ok, it opened fine for me using Firefox but I can't access it with IE7. WTF
is up with that ?
 
Try resetting your Internet Explorer settings to see if it will correct the
issue. Open Internet Options > Advanced (tab) > under 'Reset Internet
Explorer settings' > click Reset
 
Since the main reason I needed to use connect was to download OneCare beta
2.0 I used Firefox to access the download it without a problem. I will try
something less than a full reset because I have the problem in both XP and
Vista with IE7 accessing Microsoft Connect and my wife uses XP and a reset of
IE7 removes too much stuff for what now is a minor problem. I just added a
broadband router the other day and I wonder if that had anything to do with
it.
 
Ah, it has to be the router then. Make sure you do a backup before
installing OneCare, had some issues with it on Vista.
 
Clear the Cache and Delete any Connect cookies... This normally fixes
Connect issues...
