Default level Security settings for the Internet zone.
(Doubleclick on the Internet zone icon in the Status bar,
and click the Default Level button.)

Specifically, the Miscellaneous setting
Allow META REFRESH
must be enabled for certain types of redirection to occur

and Scripting setting
Active Scripting
must be either enabled (or prompts allowed) for other types
of redirection to work.

Etc.


If that doesn't help the next step would be analysing the HTML source
(or perhaps even resorting to a packet trace) to figure out what kind of
redirection is being employed by the site you are having trouble with.


Good luck
