Problem accessing site in IE but not Firefox
I've come across a website http://www.unitrinspecialty.com that won't open in IE, but will open in Firefox. I have a network of 7 windows7 machines and 1 2003 server. It will open on 1 windows7 machine and the 2003 server, but not the other 5 windows7 computers, unless using something other than IE. This leads me to strongly believe that it's not a network issue. Also, there are no firewalls. I've checked the site list in allowed sites and blocked sites but it's not in either one. I've also checked to see if it's a DNS issue, which it resolves correctly. If it was a network/dns issue, firefox wouldn't be able to get in, either. Does anyone have any ideas why 5 computers would be blocking this site, but 1 wouldn't?

Hi,This issue may be caused by incorrect IE settings or incompatible IE add-ons, I suggest run IE with no add as a test. Click Start, and then type Internet Explorer in the Start Search box. If the issue persists, reset Internet Explorer 8 security settings and temp files to check the result.===================Note: the following steps will remove all of installed add-ons, passwords, etc. and reset IE to default settings. We need to reinstall the add-ons after resetting. 1. Click "Start", type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotation marks) and press "Enter" to open the Internet options window.2. Switch to the "Advanced" tab.3. Click "Reset…" to reset Internet Explorer settings.4. Check "Delete personal settings" and click "Reset" to confirm the operation.5. Click "Close" when the resetting process is complete.6. Launch "Internet options" window and switch to the "Advanced" tab again.7. Uncheck "Enable third-party browser extensions" in the Settings box.7. Switch to the "General" tab, click "Use Blank" under the Home page area8. Click "Apply" and “OK".9. Close the Internet Explorer window.
