I am experience a problem connecting to web pages in IE 6 on XP Pro SP2. All
updates are current. The problem only exists for one of the users on the
local machine. In researching I came across the issue with a corrupted
index.dat file in a KB article but that did not solve the problem.
Symptom seems to be that IE is NOT really passing any requests beyond it's
interface. I can open local html docs but even when I go to browse the
internet, IE name requests are not even modifying the DNS Name Cache. All
other TCP/IP related functions seem to work. Email access, MSN Messenger,
ping, etc all work. IE shows status "Web site found. Waiting for
response..." and eventually times out and gives the error "page not found."
I am stumped and the KB doesn't seem to be able to help. This problem only
affects a single user on the local machine. Other local users and newly
created users do not have a problem.
TIA for your help.
