page can not be displayed -- everthing else works!

[Anthony Ewell]

Hi All,

I am confused! :'(

I have a customer with XP Home, SP1a. He has
Internet Explorer 6, sp1 with the latest Q patch
installed. He also has AOL 9 loaded.

Problem: in native IE, all web site give him
"Page can not be displayed". In AOL, on a web page
(also uses IE) he get the same thing. The symptom
repeats itself if I enter the raw IP address to a
site as well.

Here is the rub, everything else works: all
AOL functions (except the web), ping, nslookup,
Mozilla Firebird (a browser alternative to IE),
McAfee update, Ad Aware update, ftp, yada yada yada.

I have tried reinstalling IE, but that does not
help ("IsInstalled"=dword:00000000 in the registry).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Many thanks,
--Tony
