Unable to access this site

[james]

This may not be the right forum for this but I am unable
to get the following page to display when clicking it
from within a Microsoft Office application:

https://meeting.webex.com/meeting/j.php?ED=1519296&RG=1

When I pasted this URL into Word or Excel and clicked on
it, it gives me "Page cannot be displayed". If you click
on refresh, the page loads. This also only occurs when
IE is set as my default browser. I've tried it on the
following:

WinXP SP1, Word 2003, Excel 2003
Win2K SP3, Word 2000

When I changed my default browser to Firefox, I was able
to access the link from within Word. Any ideas? Seems
to be the way that Word is interacting or sending the
link to IE. I would contact WebEx but it doesn't seem to
be an issue with their URL since it works independent
from Word and also if a different browser is used. Any
help is much appreciated.

Hope this can help.

WD2000: How to Change I. E. to Open Linked Files in Word Instead of in
Browser
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, when you click a link to a Word document, by
default, Internet Explorer opens the Word document "in-place" in the Web
browser. This article describes how to open linked documents in Microsoft
Word, instead of opening them in-place.

Unfortunately I still had the problem after following the
steps on the article. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Any other ideas?
