cannot access one webpage

Question

Hi, I turned on my computer today, and decided to check my email. Fine. I went to google to search some things. Fine. When I went to myspace, however, in both IE (7 if that helps), and Firefox, they both display an error that basically says that the webpage cannot be displayed. I can go to pages associated with myspace, for example: myspace.com/a_website (not a real link), but not to the home page where you log in. I deleted all of my cookies in firefox, and it loaded the main screen for myspace, but when I tried to log in, it just went back to that same error, IE does the exact same thing. I am running on a DSL internet connection if that helps, and it is just this one page that does not load, I don't know what is wrong. Can someone help me?

Could you perhaps give us a hint by telling us exactly (word for word) what the error message says?  Have you scanned your system for spyware and malware?   Steve

yeah, I just recently scanned my system, but I'll do it again. The error messages are as follows:

Internet Explorer7:

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

More information"

Mozilla Firefox:

"The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies."

Mozilla sometimes lets me get to the homepage, but then when I try to log in, that message appears, instead of loading the page

I have the same problem, except that it is with any website that uses limelight networks, llnwd.net. This means no youtube videos, myspace pictures load at all. I have charter cable internet and they have said it isn't there problem and to check with DELL. No help so far on any knowledgebase article.

Please have a bit of consideration for whyiamibored who started this thread.  It gets very confusing trying to help with two different person's problems in the same thread.  If you want help, please start your own thread.   Steve

try clearing your cookies-
go to tools-->internet options--> delete files-->delete cookies.
This helped me, but running a disk cleanup might help as well.
Go to start-->programs-->accessories-->system tools-->disk cleanup
If this does not work, I would suggest logging in through a proxy like

I hope this helps

I'm having this same problem. Every thing has worked fine for me except Myspace.com. Is there a way to fix this?  I have a home network and neither computer will pull up myspace. The main computer has XP and my 2nd computer is Vista. But other people are not having this problem so it has to be my network or the computers. I can go to my page directly but logging in, etc does not work.

thanks. Clearing history cookies worked. It was so simple but I didnt think of it since this computer is brand new.
