I can't get
www.hgtv.com or
www.diy.com to load on IE6. I operate with
Windows XP. It doesn't time out, it just won't load at all. Any ideas?
You need to give more detailed symtoms. Does "won't load at all"
mean you see a blank screen? Then use View Source to see
if anything was received.
Start with nslookup to see if you are getting an address from your DNS.
Then try telnet to port 80 and verify you are seeing an open port.
Telnet shows that for both of your problem sites by clearing the screen
and both responded to some extent when I entered GET /
(That's GET<space><slash><Enter>.) BTW I didn't bother turning on
localecho so I couldn't see my typing.
Those steps would show that you have connectivity to the sites,
in which case IE would be able to show you something at least
with View Source.
