Todd,
Under: Tools - Internet Options - Privacy - Edit... There is a list of
blocked sites that gets added to when you answer one of those dumb wizards
when you're trying to do a download. Answer it the wrong way and your site
ends up blocked. I had to remove one of those yesterday. Try looking
there. Most are ad sites, but occasionally a good site gets in there.

Todd,
Double check your IE security settings. I know you said you did, but under
Tools > Options > Security there are radio buttons that allow you to
enable/disable downloads.

Thanks Jim & Gary,
I have two spybot programs on my PC (Spybot S&D and another) and run them
regularly. Our Symantec Corporate AV is updated at least weekly (more if I
run a manual update to the server for hot new bugs).
I do also hammer my PC. Loaded with just about everything possible to run
around here plus a bunch of development tools. It does get abused. On the
otherhand my PC has far fewer problems than some users who run almost
nothing (some people jsut have bad electrical aura I guess). This problem
seems very much like some sort of DNS problem specific to downloads.
I think I will try a Windows-Update and/or IE update (if available). I
probably corrupted some DLL sometime.
Thanks again,
-Todd

Hi Todd,
I have the same problem with my own workstation. But I know our T1 isn't
working correctly, so that's part of it. Still, it's my desktop that's got
problems - sometimes - when others seem fine. I'm sure it's because of all
the different kinds of things I end up doing from my workstation. I hammer
my resources pretty good sometimes. Seems OK right now... but there's
always tomorrow. If I learn anything on this, I'll let you know.

Sort of OT but this does affect downloading from Vantage Support or
YahooGroup files....
Whenever I try to download anything to my desktop PC I receive an error that
the site is unavailable and to try later. But if I go into computer room
(or to any other PC) I can download just fine. I have double checked all
the security settings in IE and it all seems OK (same as elsewhere). Any
idea what else can be affecting downloads? I can browse to webs sites just
fine but I can't even download from our own web site (hosted elsewhere).
Mostly just an inconvenience to not be able to do it from my desk but if
there is a simple reason I'd love to know what it is.
Thanks,
