Cant seem to get a web address

Hi All,

This seems to be a very common problem. Mine is similar...
IE6 cannot access any sites at all. However, I have 3 other browsers
installed which all work perfectly; Firefox, Opera and Netscape. I have tried
repairing it, re-installing XP (I hate doing that), and also re-installing a
completely new copy from my new ISP. No, it didn't work with my old ISP (AOL)
either. So, as I am online, it is a 'simple' case that IE cannot 'see' my
internet connection. Its as easy as that!! :-)
Frank, I have tried your suggestions of re-naming the 'hosts' file, flushing
DNS and deleting TIF's but so far, no success. do you have any other
suggestions please?

Many thanks,

IBM clone
XP Pro
IE6

I'm having a similar problem also. I can get the website on my laptop, but
the site will not come up on my desktop. I contacted the website, but no
response. The page tries to load but takes too long because I have DSL at
the highest speed. The page will load the heading but not the home page. The
site is www.enterpise.com. I went to the help and support center and found a
solution but I'm comfortable doing the procedure. I have Win xp home ed with
sp2. I can get any other sites except this one I need often. Please advise!!

Perhaps it would help if you used a different spelling
at the same IP address? <w>

<examples>
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: enterpise.com
Address: 65.197.19.150
Aliases: www.enterpise.com


Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.enterprise.com
Address: 65.197.19.150

Note that there are two canonical names and the alias that you gave
which all resolve to the same IP address.

I tried http://enterprise.com/ and got redirected here:

http://www.enterprise.com/car_rental/home.do


What do you mean by "load the heading but not the home page"?
I was expecting to see a site constructed using a frameset
but this page is a plain HTML document (though it doesn't
completely validate as HTML 4.01 Transitional--63 errors):

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.enterprise.com/car_rental/home.do
