Are you behind a proxy server (i.e. at work or school?) Do you have a firewall installed?

I'm having weird problems about failing to browse some two or three specific sites. Most of them are showing time-out errors.Where should I fix it?
Which 2 or 3 specific sites (if you're willing to share;))? Which scripting language is being used,Java, ActiveX, or other?
It's likely a scripting or proxy error of some sort.

Somedays ago It was with only
microsoft sites now it's with random sites...i'm paranoid.
then there's this .org site that I can't get to anyway always it's showing the xp loading image stopped right in the middle.So,after about 3 minutes the browser then redirects to autosearch.msn.com for some reason though the addy is right. I don't know whether they are activex or javascript...
The Portland site uses a custom scripting language. Microsoft sites use ActiveX, of course. Have you tried running a spyware tool?
It's also possible that your Security setting have been dinked with.
Finally, you can also download theSun Java Engine. The Microsoft Java Virtual Machine is crappy and broken by design. Download the runtime package for Java language support. Windows installation is mid-page (scroll down): http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
...and, like the Big B A, I must recommend Mozilla for general use: http://www.Mozilla.org . It's inherently much more secure and flexible than IE, which is an unfixable mess in its present form (By MS's own documented admission).
