Re: Can not access some websites

It seems I'm not the only one that has experienced this problem...
Mine started with about 3 websites that refused to load, they all came up
with the same error (I've attached a DOC file to show).
Some show trying to download from either the DNS or 404, but all are failing
to connect to the websites.
Went through all the forums, boards and microsoft's own knowleadge base and
followed most of the suggestions - but it all failed.
Now here's the weird part...
2 of the websites came back, all by themselves and I can't seem to find out
why..?
Now I know it not the computer, mainly because I borrowed my father's laptop
and the same thing happened to it.
And I've also downloaded Firefox, to see if it can see those websites. But
it completely timed-out.....
So the question is...
Is this a DNS server problem ....?

Tim,

I have experienced the exact smae problem as you except with two different
sites. I have jumped through all the hoops including completely
de-installing
my Zonepro firewall and running without it. No change.

I'm hoping someone comes up with something because now I have the same
problem trying to connect to the Firefox update web site.

I am using the default security settings in IE6 and META refresh is

When I attempt to go to bmo.com, it takes a long time attempting to load,
then a Goole page shows up with a link to www4.bmo.com. When I use that,
I
receive an error page stating that The Page can not be displayed. If I
attempt to find the website using Firefox, the browser times out before
loading. I'm quite certain that my browser settings are OK as most all
sites
load just fine but there's obviously some setting wrong somewhere. I've
run
my Virus checker and several spyware programs and all is clean. i also
use a
firewall so I believe my system is bug free. I've even disabled the
firewall
long enough to try bmo.com with no success.
Thanks for your suggestions. Any more thoughts?

While registering files using the regsvr32 command,
I receive the following message when attempting to register the
wininet.dll file. wininet.dll was loaded but the DLLRegister
Server entry
point was not found.

You should not find any instruction to do just a regsvr32 command
with that module. Where did you find this?


Section 4 of this Microsoft Support file is where I found the
instruction
http://www.support.microsoft.com/kb/326155


Thanks for that. It's a typo in a recent change to that article.



Not certain what I should do now. In addition to following the
instructions
here, I've run AdAware and Spybot, changed all IE settings back to
default,
cleared all cookies, cleared all web pages, cleared all history files
and
still can not access upi.com or bmo.com. Suggestions are
appreciated.
Thanks.


What is your symptom with bmo.com?

Here's what telnet -f bmo.txt bmo.com 80 gives

<example>
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=http://www4.bmo.com";>
</head>
</html>
</example>


Hence, make sure that you are allowing META Refresh (in Security
settings)
Using the Default security settings for the Internet zone should enable
that option.
E.g. doubleclick on the zone icon in the Status bar and click the
Default Level button.


E.g. if you weren't allowing META Refresh that site would show you
a blank page in the browser but when you did a View Source on that
"blank page" you would see that. What happens then isn't clear to
me.
Some users claim that pressing Refresh (F5) allows them to continue.
More obviously, you could extract the URL from the source, paste it
into
your Address bar and click Go to continue manually.
