I know this may seem off topic, and I originally posted this in the General forum, but I am beginning to think that this may be related to an unintentional change in operating system setup.
This is a fairly recent problem for me. Adobe.com times out with both IE6 and Netscape 7.1. I am running Windows 98SE. My wife's XP machine, networked thru the same router to a cable modem has no prolems with Adobe. I have tried all the obvious things like deleteing temp files, playing with security settings and enabling/disabling/cleaning up/removing cookies, and scanning for spyware. This is the only site out of dozens that I vist regualarly that I am having a problem with. Anyone with a similar experience with this or some other site that suddenly became unavailable?

I know you have stated you have clean or emptied IE TIF but:
To do a thorough job include those hidden files "index.dat", "desktop.ini":
Restart in Dos Mode, and do these commands, pressing Enter at the end of each line. The first command may appear to do nothing. Type a Y that you want to delete when prompted, check the spelling at this time.
smartdrv
deltree c:\windows\cookies
deltree c:\windows\history
deltree c:\windows\temp
deltree c:\windows\tempor~1
To avoid having to type the confirmation yes add the /y switch (=yes)
example:
deltree /y c:\windows\cookies
NOTE* deleting cookies will mean that any sites you have cached cookie preference, settings and options for will have to be reset when you visit the site once again.
