Action canceled (not HOSTS related)

When I open certain favorites, either from the Favorites menu or Links
toolbar, I get 'Action canceled' page. This happens CONSISTENTLY, 100%
of the time. Such sites include Microsoft Exchange "Outlook Web
Access" page that my company uses.

Here's the strange thing. If I open a new window, copy and paste the
URL to the Address Bar, the site opens perfectly. It also works
perfectly on Mozilla or Firebird.

For your information, my HOSTS file is fine (contains only the
localhost). I've reproduced this on several dozen and every Windows XP
Pro PCs I've used, all with Service Pack 1 installed.

Any workaround? Microsoft's web site does not have any information
pertaining to this.
 
That article is totally irrelevant to Windows XP and in fact,
potential dangerous (it will destroy your TCP/IP settings).

Please keep in mind that I don't have any strange configuration and I
have duplicated this problem on a CLEAN machine without any problem.

The bug is reproduceable IF AND ONLY IF I browse the site using
Favorite and not if I click on a link or type the URL in the address
bar.

I can duplicate this on a number of web site, but I cannot share the
links since these sites are security sensitive Microsoft's Exchange
Outlook Web Access email sites or IBM's Rational ClearCase database.
