Can get into some sites but not others.
I have a friend who can get on Yahoo, can get onto his Stock webpage put gets "Page can not be displayed" when he tries to log in.
Same with Hotmail, he can't sign in past the main page.
Any ideas?

software firewall with popup blocker enabled?
Also, if your friend is running peer guardian, tell him to disable it and then try to visit that site. Chances are, its blocking yet another innocent site. (PG blocked techtv for some time, and they are DEFINITELY not fans of the RIAA.)

hold down the Ctrl button when you click the link, if you have a pop-up blocker that is the default overide key.

The only pages he can't get into are ones that he has to log-in to.
MSN/Hotmail, and his stock website. He can get to the website but can't logon to get personal info. Same if he tries to get onto his new Verzion home page.
He has just installed Verizon DSL and added a Belkin wireless router.
He has two computers hooked up. One has no problems and the other has this "logon to sites problem.
Both computers are running XP, IE, Norton, no firewall.
He has run anti-virus software, Spybot and Ad-aware. Delete all cookies and Temp/Temporary files.
No popup stopper.
Haven't tried "maintenance" on IE because I want to be there for that.
Where is the cookie enable settings?

Just got DSL and he had Norton Security.
I had him check is in the last couple of days and it's no longer working. Need to add "ZoneAlarm".

tell him to go into Nortons Internet Security/Privacy Control/Configure/Advanced and either add (Add Site) or reconfigure(under global tab) his favorite sites. Don't forget to add Microsoft.com, windowsupdate.com and v4.windowsupdate.com
Ex: profile for
www.msn.com (in msn.com) under global, I unchecked use default in "information about your browser" section and clicked the permit radio button(leaving the rest as they were) works fine
or when you get to the configure for privacy control do not click advanced. Just uncheck use privacy control, from there you are on your own@@@!
