I've been getting this problem for weeks. I down loaded
I.E. version 6.0 to try to correct this problem but no
change ocurred. Problem: When viewing Major Leauge
Baseball sites & some others, some hyperlincs display an
error mess:Action canceled. Internet Explorer was unable
to link to the Web page you requested. The page might be
temporarily unavailable.

Any soloutions would be much apperciated!
 
Steve,
The "Action Cancelled" message is usually generated when entries in the
users HOSTS file are preventing access from one or more servers designated
in the web page. In most cases this occurs from 3rd party ad servers such as
"doubleclick", where the "Action Cancelled" message replaces an [example] ad
banner in the viewing page.

In other cases the message is displayed when a user clicks a link in a page
that routes them thru a tracking service, or attempts to connect to a listed
hijacker, parasite, etc. and this culprit is listed as an entry in the HOSTS
file.

The simplest method is to have the user rename the HOSTS file (to NOHOSTS)
and try again. If renaming allows access, then the user needs to address the
cause. Either an incorrect entry or there is a legitimate reason the HOSTS
entry exists. (hijacker, trojan, dialer, etc.)

To rename the HOSTS file, download: "RenHosts.bat"
