Certain websites not working

[DaveM]

I may have a similar problem. I'm running XP with IE 7.0.5730.11. Currently, I cannot go to either the home page of ebay or paypal. Other computers in our office are running other versions of IE and they cannot display either of these home pages as well. One user here has a different browser and both pages load fine. I can go to any other web page such as google.com and things work fine. If I want to go to ebay, I go to google, search for something that has a link to an ebay listed item, and I can get inside the ebay site, log in to my account and browse listings, I just can't go through the front door!

I've deleted all cookies and files and have tried to change some of the security settings but nothing seems to work.

Thoughts please

Hello and Welcome to TSF

Do you receive clues from IE7 as to the nature of the problem? Is it a problem with certificates, for example?

Have you cleared the cache, history, temp & temp internet files along with cookies as you stated?

The problem could be caused by the coding on the web site.

Other computers in our office are running other versions of IE and they cannot display either of these home pages as well.

What type of network are you using?

Is there a firewall installed?
