One webpage won't load

[Guest]

I am having a problem loading only one webpage. All of my computers on my
network cannot load this page through Internet Explorer, but when I go to my
mother's house there is no problem. I need to load this page for my work, so
I am very frustrated. I have been able to go into AOL and load the page
using the exact URL....i.e. the page I'm looking for is
pulteposystem.com....which should load a login page automatically....but in
IE or AOL it doesn't do that. But, in AOL if I load
pulteposystem.com/vlogin.asp then the login page will come up. I only tried
this because once it started to load and I looked on the bottom of the page
and wrote down what page it was trying to load. It didn't load the page, but
when I just put that URL in it would do it. I don't really like doing that
through AOL, but I have been. I just don't understand why all of a sudden
we can't do this through IE. We've been doing it for years, and I don't know
that anything has changed. I've done a few of the suggestions that I've
found in the newsgroups. I've looked at the HOSTS file and there is nothing
in there about this site. I didn't change the name because I don't want to
mess anything else up. I cleared all the history and cookies. I even
restored my computer to an earlier date. I tried the regsvr32 urlmon.dll and
that didn't work either. I couldn't follow or didn't understand the "expand
file" option. If anyone has any other options....please please share. I am
not very computer literate so you have to be precise unfortunately. But, hey
at least I knew about this site and reading this. Thanks for any help.

What do you see with IE then? According to telnet 80 with just the domain
name that you gave you would only have been presented with a page
of options, which you would pick depending on whether you were an
employee or a vendor:

<extract>
<td valign="top" align="center" height="156"><a href="https://www.pulteposystem.com/login.asp" onmouseover="hiLite('img01','employ
eeON')" onmouseout="hiLite('img01','employee')" target="_top">
<img border="0" src="/img/login_emp.gif" name="img01" width="193" height="40"></a><br>
<a href="https://www.pulteposystem.com/vlogin.asp" onmouseover="hiLite('img02','vendorON')" onmouseout="hiLite('img02','vendor')"
target="_top">

<img border="0" src="img/login_ven.gif" name="img02" width="193" height="39"></td>

</extract>

BTW you could extract the same source via View Source (Alt-V,c)
when opening http://pulteposystem.com/

but when I just put that URL in it would do it.

It doesn't exactly match your description. E.g. I see nothing "automatic"
about it. AFAICT you have to know that you are a vendor and click on
the Vendor Login button at which point you would be requesting the
page that you mentioned to be loaded--or more precisely from the second
href= requesting: https://www.pulteposystem.com/vlogin.asp

Unless that page somehow makes use of the Cookie that this first page
is given I see nothing wrong with making a Favorite out of the second
URL and going to it directly. What happens if you do that?

FWIW I suspect that previously by not specifying a complete URL
you have been "automatically" <w> redirected to the above vlogin.asp
page. However, now, for whatever reason, you are being presented
with a menu page first. Use the menu or bypass it, your choice.

If you need more help please be more complete and precise
when describing what you are seeing.
Remember your words have to substitute for what our eyes might notice.
