Hi Tractorguy
It does sound as though something is blocking the access. You don't mention
the version of Windows you are using, but, try the following as it may apply
to your OS and see if it helps:
Check your HOST file and Restricted files to see it they are listed them and
remove them if so.
If you have any 3rd party toolbars such as Google, Yahoo or MSN, disable
them
If you have Yahoo Companion, uninstall it
And ad or popup blockers, disable them
Make sure your security is set correctly
Go to Tools>Internet Options>Privacy
Click Sites.
Enter each of the following sites and click Always Allow:
cnn.com
microsoft.com
also..
In Internet Explorer -
1. Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
2. Scroll down to the Security Settings.
3. Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say
"Enable SSL 2" or "Enable SSL 3".
Try your secure sites.
Check your Proxy settings
Check the dial-up settings
Check your Security settings for that zone.
If it is the Internet zone use the Default Level button.
If it is in the Trusted sites zone and at the Default Level
(e.g. Low level and Default Level button is greyed)
then try removing the site from the Trusted sites zone.
Run the problem sites in the Internet zone (with Default Level security)
instead of the Trusted Zone.
also..
Zone Alarm Pro can block access to Internet

You might try "Prompt" for Active Scripting in the Internet Zone.
If the above suggestions don't help, then, hopefully, someone who is more
familiar with this type of problem will be able to help you.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Jan I, I figured out how to do this and tried it just a while ago
and
it is not making any difference. I have been trying to solve this problem
for quite a long time (6 month), The funny part is if I use a direct
dial-up
connection the sites that dont work, now work OK. This only happeneds
when
it is connected to my local network. This network is connected to the
internet via dial-up as well. My router is a linksys with all DCHP turned
off
and and another computer on my network is the DCHP computer. It almost
looks
as if some type of function is missing on my computer because the page
loads
just stop as seen by looking at my network comm lights in the lower right
corner of the windows screen. No errors. The computer that is handling
the
DCHP works just fine.

I am having a problem with some sites not being in the internet zone.
Examples are
www.cnn.com,
www.microsoft.com. Many other sites are
stated
to
be in the internet zone and work just fine. The problem is the sites
that
are not in the internet zone will not display or stop partly thru the
display of the page. How can I force my browzer to think that a page is
in
the internet zone????
