Internet Explorer--Cannot Find Website
Everything worked fine on my machine until about a month ago; I had no problems of any kind!
But then for some strange reason IE cannot find a website (page not found). Everyone else can find it but me!! You can find it also (I'm sure).
Http://www.gwinnettcounty.com It's my county government. I've contacted the tech, at the site, and he cannot solve the problem. I can go to any website but this. Note: I'm using CompuServe dialup which can find the site, but I cannot login. I also tried Firefox with no success. I have done all the cleanup work to my machine, i.e. Chkdsk, Defrag, eliminate files not needed, etc. I've done everything to IE that I know to do, with no success. I even went into security sites and entered this site as trusted, with no success. I dropped my security, deleted cookies and history etc with no success.
Here is my configuration:
Dimension 4400
Windows XP Home (SP2) (always updated)
Internet Explorer 6
CompuServe dialup ISP
Spybot
SpywareBlaster
Adaware
Windows AntiSpyware (beta)
AVG Antivirus
Zone Alarm Firewall (Windows Firewall Disabled)
I've had the computer since new.
This is not a real important issue, but it is nuisance and a challenge!
Anyone have any ideas???? :smileysad:

I've used Google in IE to find the site. The first site shown is correct "gwinnet county government" but doesn't work. But notice the second site shown "Not Found"; I've never seen this before! Click on that and see what you get!!! Incidentally, Sometimes I get the site in CompuServe, but cannot register. Last Night, I kept getting an error 200 (whatever that is).
Have a good day and thanks for the advice.

I also am using ZA free. I also thought this could be the problem. I lowered my security to low and this did not work. I then disabled ZA and that didn't work. I deleted ZA and then Windows firewall was enabled, and that didn't work, I then reinstalled ZA and I am back where I started with it not working at all in IE, but only partially working in CompuServe. Even though I keep all my security software updated and my computer scanned, could it be a malware problem?
Thanks for the help and advice. Have a good day!
