ie6 sp1 error when loading "FORBES"

Hi all,

I'm trying to look at "www.forbes.com" using IE6 with sp1. My OS is W2K. The page starts to load but then stops with a very short error window : "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.forbes.com." I've removed sun Java, turned on and off the Microsoft VM tools, and even disabled my Goggle toolbar, but always get the same results. I reinstalled IE6 once. This is not a big problem, just annoying. The page loads with Netscape 7.1 with no problems.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Jim

 

Possibly blocking it's cookie or a popup blocker stopping the ad that wants to jump up with it? Ever have this problem at this site before?

 

I just started to get this magazine so I thought I would look at the site. I can load it successfully at home ; the problem's at work, behind firewalls, running Symantec Anti-virus,etc. I do have Spybot loaded, and the IE security settings are at default values.

Try adding to your trusted sites.

 

I'm behind a fairly tight work firewall right now. The site loaded but google's blocker killed a pop-up of some sort. No general effect on the page loading though.

 

Access to Forbes using IE6

I tried placing the Forbes link in IE's PRIVACY sites list and it WORKED ! Thanks for the suggestions.
