Next time IE fails to load the page go to the command prompt (start/all
programs/accessories/command prompt) and type in "netstat" (without the").
I bet you see a port numbered from 3127 through 3198. When you restart the
computer IE begins with port 3000 and works it's way up as you load more
pages. My guess is that your ISP has begun to block ports 3127 through 3198
in order to quiet down the mydoom virus which uses those ports. If your ISP
insists on blocking the ports the workaround is to force IE to move up in
port number. You can do this with multiple hits of "refresh" (although I
didn't get a new port with each click) or opening multiple instances of IE.
Try opening some and rerunning netstat, you will see the port numbers
increase. When you reach 3199 or higher, the pages will open normally. If
you ask your ISP (or Microsoft Help) about this they will tell you that IE
only uses port 80 for all web pages. Something is wrong with their answer.
My ISP has stopped blocking those ports after I pointed out what a problem
it was for users. Good luck, and please report back.
