Hi everyone!

I'm having a problem with IE 6 where if I enter a web address as
www.anysite.com the site will not load but if I enter http://www.anysite.com
it loads immediately. Is there a setting that controls whether or not you
need the http:// preceeding the address?

Thanks for the help!

Hey Bob,

Type the web address in the address window and then press "Ctrl" & "Enter"
at the same time,IE will automatically enter the prefix and the suffix.One
caveat though,this only works with URL's whose suffix is "com".

HTH,
