Hi John :-)

You don't mention if you are getting any error messages, or what they are,
so I am only able to guess at what is causing the problem. Try this and see
if it helps:

Clear out temporary files and delete cookies.

If you do not need to use a proxy, disable it:
Tools>Internet Options> Connections tab> LAN Settings button
Under Proxy server, make sure the box there is unchecked

and.......

HTTP 403.15 - Forbidden: Client Access Licenses Exceeded
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3BQ264908

403 Errors
http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/403.htm
http://www.generation.net/~hleboeuf/403.htm

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden
http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E403.html

If these steps do not resolve your problem, or you need help with the above,
please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Jan :)
