Re: Website won't open in XPHome/IE6 - additional info..

Hi Don.

Well, I did not try your complete solution, but while in safe mode with
networking, I was able to get to the site. This leads me to believe there
must be some kind of conflict with McAfee & Windows.

I'll have to try contacting McAfee's support desk. I'm wondering if this
was one of the first sites I launched after a McAfee update. They recently
released a new version of their Internet Security Suite and since this
release, I've had a variety of problems (the red x issue that others have
referred to on this board. McAfee was able to replicate my issue, but so far,
I have not seen a fix).

I don't know why it's only one site.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Restart and try the troublesome site.

If no success with that, re-enable McAfee and contact the helpdesk of your
ISP. See if they can reach http://www.likesbooks.com/cgi-bin/rtr.pl The
problem might be at their level.

Hope this helps,

I've got the same exact issue. I've tried the same steps as Joan and the
steps Nass suggested, still not working.

I'm trying to access www.likesbooks.com/cgi-bin/rtr.pl

I noticed the problem about a week ago. I've contacted the website owner &
there has been no change to the website. I can access all other pages on
the
likesbooks.com domain.

I'm running IE6 with XP SVS PK 1. I've got McAfee ISS 9 (which I had
problems with, but was able to finally get fully installed and was able to
access this page with the new update).

I've done a virus & spyware scan with no infected files found.

Thanks,
Reader

Hi Joan,
Open your Run command and type this;
ipconfig /flushdns press OK

On the Run Command also;
netsh winsock reset click Ok Reboot your computer and see if that
will
help.
Try to be sure your machine is clean from Malware/Grayware by scaning.
HTH.
Please let us know.

"the page can not be displayed"(can't find server or DNS error IE) is
the
message I get when I try to open one of my favourite sites. The
problem
started about a week ago. I checked the setting, deleted TIF and
History
folders,Cookies checked the host file, nothing solved the problem.
I've been
searching in the KB (884488)
the problem stays where it is!
There has been no problem in opening any other website.
The owner of the page hasn't changed anything, the page gives no
problem at
all on a friend's computer.
Make my day!!!!
