IE6 will display "The page cannot be displayed" NEED HELP

[shane davis]

when i click on certan web pages they wont load and they
will display "The page cannot be displayed - Cannot
Connect To Server" and other will load. More and more
sites are starting to do this, and sometimes pages will
load and one hour, later they wont. My computer has all
the current updates and i have always on DirecWay hi-
speed net wich is hooked to my computer through a router,
this problem just started happening 2 weeks ago, nothing
new in my computer has been istalled either.

I have been having the same exact problem. I was told to restore my computer with the restore CD's, but that did not work, I have called numerous places but they all say that it is not there fault. I am going to keep working on it, so I'll let you know if I find anything out.

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

Alternative download pages for Ad-Aware, Spybot, HijackThis and CWShredder
may be found on this page:

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

Shane,
The "Cannot connect to server" is usually Winsock related.
