Thank you for your suggestions, which were on target. A Comcast Rep
suggested something very similar for checking the Privacy tab under Internet
Options. Somehow, perhaps due to a Window Automatic Update, cookies had been
turned oof. When I added the site, it came back up.
I have now changed the settings to Medium as there are probably other sites
that were affected - I just wasn't focusing on them.
I have setup Norton as per their recommendations which includes turning off
MS Firewall and enabling worm protection on Norton.
Thanks again for your help.
Wes

You stated that the MS Firewall is disabled (in the services I assume) then.
you stated you are running NAV 2006 not NIS 2006. Are you running a firewall?
What firewall? If NIS, check your privacy settings, add the URL to it in the
advance options.
Flush the DNS, start, run "IPCONFIG /Flushdns" without quotes click OK. try
again.
Copy and past the icon from working computer, I always had a problem with
currious users.
check ad blocker settings, pop-up settings.
hope this helps

Suddenly I cannot access a particular URL on my main desktop, but no one
else is having a problem with it. I have had several people check the site
for me, with no problems. I also attempted access on another computer; and
it worked fine. I use links to that same URL on my website; and when I
display the home page on that site (www.classic-nuts.com) on this machine,
those links are broken (mostly pictures). This is a URL that I have used
every day uneventfully for several years.
So, the problem is on this particular machine. I have checked every setting
that I can find referenced on the MS support pages. I have cleared cookies,
files and history. I even added the URL to the allowed sites in the Content
Advisor in Internet Options. Somewhere somehow, apparently this site has
been excluded from this computer, but I can't find where.
I get the same problem using either of IE6+ (page cannot be displayed) or
Netscape 7.2 (site times out) on this machine.
As best I can tell, this started earlier this week when I installed a
Windows Update that had come down via the Automatic Update facility. I have
gone back to Windows Update and downloaded and installed everything that
pertains to my O/S. The Windows scan on the Microsoft Windows Update site
says there are no updates required. I installed SP2 long ago.
IBM Netvista - 1.5 GB Memory, lots of disk space free
Window XP Home Edition
IE 6+
Netscape 7.2
Windows Firewall turned off (I use Nortorn anti-virus 2006)
Offending site:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
