Not ALLOWED to view Windows BBS

WE have a computer that shows the error message with words to the effect that we are not allowed to view this page when typing in 'Windows BBS,' we can get our ISP ok.
The message ends 'Http Error 403 Forbidden'
It's ok on this PC and this is connected through the same router.

Confirmed HTTP 403 error (see attached) on Windows XP Professional 32-bit with SP3, Internet Explorer 6.0, no .Net.

User agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

 

Just for record, I can access Windowsbbs.com with IE6 on my old XP machine with SP3. The only reason I refuse to upgrade IE is due to fuzzy font issues that I never could resolve. I use Firefox for my browsing chores.

I have no such font issues with my new hardware and Windows 7.

 

MIcrosoft's ClearType Tuner PowerToy for Windows XP

 

Thanks, Doc, but I've tried every trick in the book including the power toy. XP will die soon anyway. Thank goodness for new hardware!

 

Just loaded it on XP (XP Mode) a bit ago, (after updating IE back to 8). Makes quite a difference here.

 

Not necessary, (for me anyway).

I just happened to be reloading XP in a VM, remembered this thread and thought I'd try IE6 with Windows BBS. Sure enough, couldn't get in. (It's now upgraded to version 8).

 

Thanks everyone, I just tried 'Opera' took a very long time to download and the 'Speed Dial 'is a joke.
Will try IE 8, now
