Re: [squid-users] Squid authentication & IE6

IE6 has been working without error for me since it was released. I
verified this again just now. However, I installed IE6 SP1 on my Windows
2000 computer today at work and the problem appeared immediately. The
login box appears, I type in my credentials and then get a "The Page
cannot be displayed" message. Typing in another URL such as www.yahoo.com
doesn't work well either. However, clicking the refresh button seems to
get things working for the duration of that session.
