Unable to login to Netzero webmail

[Admin]

I am using Win XP Pro Sp2 up to date. My IE 6 cannot complete the
login to Netzero webmail.

Every time I attempt this, the browser just hangs/freezes for this
page once the username and password is filled and login button
clicked. I mean the browser other wise works for any other page but
the said login page just hangs and times out. There is no error
message of any kind whatsoever.

I can login from other machines on the same wireless LAN without any
problem, and it worked on this machine for several years. I have
looked into Hosts file for a Netzero entry, there is not any. I have
cleared temp Internet files and cookies but nothing has helped.

I do not have any spy ware on my machine checked with several programs
including Ad aware, Spybot and Giant Antispyware. I use ZoneAlarm,
but that existed when Netzero login was working and there is no entry
in its log showing any blocking of this login. I have disabled popup
blocking also, but that does not help either.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Matt
