I have a windows xp sp2 pc at work. All my colleagues can visit
http://www.cheu.gov.hk/eng/index.asp
But I cannot with my IE7 (all latest service packs installed). I can browse
all other websites successfully.
Using command prompt ping, my PC can resolve the IP of the website
successfully.
If I download and use firefox, i can browse that website. My PC has Symantec
Antivirus installed with no signs of infection.
So I have no idea why my IE7 fails only for this website.
I have to downgrade to IE6 to make it work. I contacted the website owner
and they said their website has always been available to the public.
ANY IDEAS WHY?

Please try the IE7 group.
The recommended newsgroup is microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

In a proper newsreader:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

If you must use a web interface:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general
