I work for a company that has 40 client workstations & 5 servers. I
am running IE7 on all clients and servers.
I only have a problem with 1 of my servers, my PDC and File Server
(same machine) I can get to google.com or microsoft just fine but
when I try to access symantec or veritas, basically lots of tech
websites I can not reach it.

I don't get a page displaying could not display this webpage or DNS
error it just takes forever.

My network setup is Fiber to Cisco ASA 5510 Pix to Gigabit switch

I've flushed the dns cache, cleaned out all setting of IE
(Temp,history, cookies), disabled all Add-On settings and re-enabled
them, but nothing works.

This isn't so much a problem as it a frustration.

Firefox works fine and will open any site I go to.

Does anybody have any idea or advice regarding this problem.

For quite a few people it's by installing programs like Messenger Plus,
whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince
you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.

I did a thorough check for malware/spyware using spyware blaster,
counter spy and windows defender. My AV also has spyware/malware/
adware protection. That did not seem to fix the problem though. My
current thought is to basically uninstall IE7. Do you have any other
thoughts on what it could be. I'm stumped.

Thanks,

Jeffrey Emper

I fixed this by uninstalling IE 7 and then reinstalling. It's now
working like a chimp
