Hi Richard
Have you checked your HOST file?
Check for a hosts file (just "hosts" not hosts.sam or lmhosts)
Windows XP. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
You may have to enable the viewing of hidden files.
Rename your HOSTS file to OLDHOSTS and see if the problem persists.
also...
Check in the Restricted files in the Internet Options>Security and see if
the site is listed there. If so, remove it.
If it is not there, try adding the site to your Trusted Zone there and see
if that will help.
If you have any 3rd party toolbars, such as Google or Yahoo, disable them.
If you have Yahoo Companion, uninstall it, as it known to cause various
problems.
*****
Also, go to Tools>Internet Options>Privacy
Click Sites and enter that site, then click Always Allow
****
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section, and then
select the Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 options.
Click OK.
*****
Any firewall program you use - Zone Alarm, for instance/example, can block
out sites and their cookies that some sites require.
Zone Alarm Pro [Private Header Info - enabled?] Reset "Ad Blocking"
and "Cookie Control" to "medium" "Mobile Code Control" = Off
*****
Check any "ad blocking" software that blocks "http_referrer"
or contains entries that are blocking access to the desired site.
Hope this helps.

Hi Richard
I don't have any problem accessing the website here, it appears to be
normal.
You don't mention the version of Windows you hare using, or what error
messages you may get. Have you tried clearing your Temporary Internet
files?
Clearing the TIF Cache -
Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files

Delete Off-Line files as well
or.

Try adding the site to your Trusted Zone
You can update your scripting engine. The latest scripting engine can
be found at:

For 2000 and XP go to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...43-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en
The install includes a new jscript.dl
Hope this helps.

I regularly visit a government web site (for many years) and have not
had a
problem with any of their links. However, about a month ago one link
will
not work. I goes to a site that is searchable for all personnel in the
Agency.
I have tried everything I know of and cannot get into the page that I
need.
All the other links work fine and there are hundreds and hundreds of
them.
I
contacted the web administrator for the site and they said the link was
working. I have also tried my wife's mac and the link works for her
computer
running OS X and using Safari.
The link is
