We typed it fine...we checked and double checked. It works for me too on my computer, but not for my mom on her computer.

My mom is having difficulty accessing this one site...homedepot.ca

She gets:

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

It seems to be just for this site, she has had no other problems.
Any suggestions?

Works OK here. Maybe shes typing the URL incoreectly. This is what worked for me. Note there is no .com

www.homedepot.ca

Have you checked the Internet Option Security tab? Or maybe the Privacy tab. Are your settings the same as hers?

I'm using Mozilla FF, she's using IE7....different settings.

Although I did try lowering her settings to less secure and that didn't help.

I was using IE7 Security set to med-high and Privacy set to medium.
You might try adding the site to the trusted zone, but it sounds more
like shes hitting a secured server. Have you had her try Firefox?
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
