the web page can't be displayed correctly when the network is slow

[Su]

Hi there,

I'm using IE6.0.29 and I find a problem as:

When I browse a web site which is slow, like finance.yahoo.com, the IE
doesn't wait for a while but just display an error page. But when I use
other computers to browse, it can wait until the page is displayed although
it's quite slow.

I think there may be something like timeout is set too short. Can anybody
help to tell me how to fix it?

Thank you.

Su,

Are you running any sort of third-party firewall on your PC?
Did you check with your network admin to see if the PROXY or FIREWALL may be
causing this?
Did you check with the ISP to see if there are problems?

Hi Michael,

I use the firewall bundled in Win XP. No third-party firewall is used. And
the McAfee VirusScan is used.

The problem occurs also when I connect to the public internet. And my
colleagues in the same LAN have no such problem.

It seems something is wrong with my own computer but I don't know how to
correct it.

Thanks.

Hey, I find what the problem is. I'm using a anti spam software and some
resolved IP address is included in a 'hosts' file in Windows/../../...
folder. In the list, the finance.yahoo.com is directed to the old IP
address. I corrected it and it works.
