247616 2004-06-25 22:23:00 IE6 displays The page cannot be found.
I'm helping friends use their new DELL PC using XP home.
We have an irritating problem when using IE6 and looking for various sites that we’ve not had problems with in the past using an old PC with 98 SE.
Our problem is that the page will not display and I have to use the refresh function 3 – 6 times before the page is displayed correctly. Sometime the selected site displays straight away but more often than not the page comes back with "The page cannot be found".
Is there a setting to look for that will overcome this, your help would be appreciated.

247618 2004-06-26 02:12:00 Is there a firewall installed? Try disabling it.

Do they have problems with other net related things like e-mail?

Check there are no proxy settings enabled in IE (Tools --> Internet Options --> Connections --> Settings & LAN Settings.
