Page Not Found Error

[Guest]

I have a problem when I go to almost any website the Page Not Found error
displays. For example, I can get to www.yahoo.com, but if I click on the news
item , it will bring me to the news page for a split second and then
redirects to the "Page Not Found" page. I tried everything I found in this
group and all in vain....

Please, help. It appears that the problem aggravates with time ....

I have this issue as well when trying to access www.gay.com I get the error
page and Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

Any clues?

Since you are calling it "the Page Not Found" (emphasize "the")
I suspect that you have a default setting in Advanced options
which may be obscuring the *real* error message you should be seeing.

Show friendly HTTP error messages

That should be *unchecked*, especially for Yahoo, since its 404 error messages
often contain more options as well as descriptive text, in HTML.


Also in case you have made Yahoo a saved Favourite you probably should press
Ctrl-F5 before clicking on "a news item".


In order to make sure that you always see current pages and links
I suggest you change your cache-checking settings to Every visit...
(e.g. via the Tools menu: Alt-T,O,Alt-S,E)


Good luck
