A W2K Pro workstation w/ IE 6.0 cannot access a certain website using broadband. On the same workstation the site can be opened thru dial-up. It looks router related...what is happening?

Check your DNS servers. Your dial-up probably uses different ones than your broadband. What's the site?

Like I said, check your DNS. Unless your dial-up and broadband are through the same provider, they WILL be definitely be different DNS servers. The site's DNS is being hosted by VVM.com. I've seen this before with low level DNS hosting not being propagated up and back down again in a timely fashion.

Answer 1 is wrong but on the right track, they will NORMALLY have a different DNIS server for dialup than broadband. With different permissions and capabilities for those that connect through them, not excluding firewalls!

FYI - IE can block via connection ! Ran into it using dialup / Intranet.

Also check firewall and anti-virus settings they can also block via connection !
