Courtesey of MVP Mike Burgess - Several of these are known to cause
problems:
1) Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?] Reset "Ad Blocking" and
"Cookie Control" to "medium" "Mobile Code Control" = Off
2) Symantec (ISS\NIS) [Enable Browser Privacy - enabled] Active Content -
"Allow All Scripts To Execute" Problem: some sites cannot detect the 128 bit
encryption Solution: Completely remove and reinstall NIS.
3) Any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referer" or contains entries
that are blocking access to the desired site.
4) HOSTS file that contains entries that are blocking access to the desired
site.
Hope this helps.
