Internet Explorer Misbehaving
When I launch IE, from my desktop icon, to reach my home page(msn.com), I
get the message" Internet Explorer cannot display this page". If I then perform several refreshes, I can reach my home page OK. However, a single click to eBay, PayPal , Amazon or Outlook Express from the desktop works immediately. I am running XP Pro in a home network, via a DSL modem and a Netgear router. The other computer in the network behaves identically.Both machines appear to function normally otherwise. Also, each machine is running AVG 7, Ad-Aware 2007, Spybot S&D and Spware Blaster and reveal no problems.What is causing this? How can I fix this problem? Thanks for your help |

If you eliminate the router and connect directly to the modem, does the
behavior persist?

I am using IE 6 on one machine and IE 7 on the other.
Both machines have the same problem. "antioch" wrote in message ... "melvin cotterill" wrote in message ...

When I by pass the router and go directly via the modem the problem does not
go away. Both machines respond in the same fashion when I do this. "PA Bear" wrote in message ... If you eliminate the router and connect directly to the modem, does the behavior persist?

Hello All;
Thanks for the help and advice. I will post this problem in the suggested newsgroup. Incidentally, I downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 7 on the machine that had IE 6 on it. This did not solve my problem. Caveat Emptor, and remember Peace and Liberty can not be obtained simultaneously, even in the Islamic world. "melvin cotterill" wrote in message ...

What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Start Without
Add-ons? Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM I won't answer email."Melvin Cotterill" wrote in message ...

Sounds like you need to edit/adjust the MTU value on each machine.
Go to http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315008 (ignore the title) Scroll down to "If You Connect by DSL, Cable Modem, or LAN on Windows XP" and the NOTE subsection for instructions & tips. -- ~PA Bear melvin cotterill wrote: When I by pass the router and go directly via the modem the problem does not go away.
