Hi,

You could set your internet security settings to low and give it a try. I wouldn't leave it like that, though.

If it works at least you know its a security setting.

The trick will be to find which one... Then you set up a custom setting(rather than medium or low) and base it on the medium but change the one (or more) settings to allow access to the page.

Tell me more about the message. Is it a windows pop-up box or message on the web page?

Does it happen as the page loads?
What is the exact message?

Cheers,
Tim.

Are you connecting using that ISP. If, for example, you are trying to access your home ISP details from at work, the web site notices that you are an "outside" address and blocks you.

If it really is IE6 that is blocking you, use tools/internet options/security/trusted sites/sites, and add your ISP's page to your list of trusted sites. That will use the security level you set for trusted sites whenever you hit this site.

Good luck.
