Browser or Time Out Problem w/IE 6.0 sp2

Certain website, ones that I visit at least once a day have started becoming
unaccessible by timing out on me. I do not know if this is a browser problem
or a "time out" problem w/IE 6. Most of the time the browser simply times
out before the page can display. I followed the instructions given on a
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article but this did not fix the problem by adding
the "Receiver Timeout" as a Dword value in the registry.

I've checked everything I know to check, don't know what else to do to solve
the problem ? I've been unable to access my yahoo email acct. for days now
and many other websites as well\ - they simply time out or give the err.msg.
"this page cannot be displayed". It's one or the other, never any other err.
msg.

Please help if at all possible.

LOL to all here

Hi Joy,

By any chance are you located in the South Pacific region (AU or NZ) and did
this start to occurr yesterday? If so it then it should be better by now.
Yesterday was a bad day for inet connections. My 'puter was droping off all
day.

Regards.
