This is very strange....
I've emailed the following link from my web site to
several people as a test
http://www.extremefx.net/downloadtest.doc

I get the following error "Internet Explorer could not
download downloadtest.doc"

Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet
site. The requested file either does not exist or cannot
be found"

However i informed my web hosting technicians and they
say they can see it just fine in I.E. and it is not their
problem becuase they are not running A Microsoft Server.

Here is where it gets really strange i can upload the
same file to another web server and I.E. will download
the file with no problem.

I would like to ask the Forum AGAIN Can you see this link
in your I.E. Version?
http://www.extremefx.net/downloadtest.doc

Note: I can see the link in all non I.E. browsers except
I.E 6.
I've been trying to resolve this all weekend and still no
progress.
What should i do?
HELP?

Dear RT,

Thank you for your posting.

After you follow the instructions in the following article, please set all
the default settings in IE and check the issue.

Set IE default settings:

1. Open IE.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. On the Security tab, highlight Internet and click Default Level.
4. On the Privacy tab, click Default.
5. On the Advanced tab, click Restore Default.
6. Click OK.

Open IE and type the link http://www.extremefx.net/downloadtest.doc in IE
address bar directly, can you download the doc file now?

Thanks and have a good day!
