IE 6 problem

[ckchin]

Hi,

I most of the time faced unsuccessful connection when I tried to browse certain website, even the big guys -- Yahoo, using my IE6.

Do you think that there is a bug in IE6?
Is there any patch files available for IE6?

Thanks in davance.

do you have a firewall running ?

if so try disabling the firewall and see if it works

No firewall because I use my home pc.

Its not a problem with IE6 cause a lot of people use it and they dont find any probs. but, therer may be some changes in your network settings which you should check up with, such a problem opccurs to me only when there's a modem prob, or network settings prob !

Do you use dialup? If so, go into your dialup networking properties and make sure that there isn't a setting for disconnecting you at intervals (although it usually would disconnect you during idle time if it's enabled).

You might try downloading an app that will keep you online: http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.ht...ine&tg=dl-2001

Thanks mjames,

yes you did mention my problem. I sometime asked to disconnect when I closed one browser, even though I still browsing other siteS using other BrowserS.
