Hi there

I assume the site isn't using buffering at the moment (which you say allows
it to work fine). I did have a quick look following your instructions, and
it loads fine for me.

The image files you refer to in the first paragraph would not be included in
the page size - they are separate resources, and IE would download them
separately to the actual .asp page.

Is there any proxy or similar between you and the server that might be
interfering? Otherwise, I'd grab a copy of ethereal (www.ethereal.com) and
run it on the client machine, and see what's going back and forwards between
you and the server. This probably won't be as helpful as running it on the
server, since we can't see what the server thinks is happening, but at least
you'll only have a limited set of data (the responses etc coming in to your
local client workstation).

Maybe there's someone else around that has experienced this particular issue
who can comment...

Cheers
Ken
