Page cannot be displayed

[Olivier]

Hello guys,

I have a stange problem with IE6.
It's quiet random but sometimes, we get a message "The page cannot be displayed" on our company sites.
In the same instance of IE, we change the url to a new one : working. Back to the previous one : working...
Wait some time, refresh -> Page Cannot be displayed. Refresh Refresh Refresh : same message.

We sniffed the line : nothing goes out on port 80 in such cases...Since nothing goes out on port 80, I think something might be wrong with the browser but what ???

Has anyone an idea ?

TIA,

Olivier.

You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK

Possibly your cache folder is corrupt:
