(And to further add to the record, I have no problem with nbc.com but have
the problem with www.discovercard.com). I did find another who couldn't get
discover. I would have no problem in using firefox and in fact have no
problem with the AOL browser pulling it up. The problem is that I'm heavily
into the Microsoft Money program which integrates with IE.

In Firefox both of these render the page, in IE neither of these work at
all. Internet Explorer cannot display the web page.
Here's what happens in a VB program which I whipped up with an embedded
browser control to see what happens when browsing to nbc.com. Is it the
cross-site access to weatherplus.com which is perhaps throwing IE into a
panic?

Both the IP address and nbc.com load normally for me. The information was
from the thread you posted.

It's some kind of cross-domain problem.
I threw nbc.com into my trusted sites. No change. I threw weatherplus.com
into my trusted sites. Now when I browse to nbc.com I wait, and wait and
wait - Waiting for http://www.nbc.com/...
I'm not a big fan of Firefox. But here's one that they got right.

Compared to IE, Firefox has got every thing right. Firefox follows the web
standards, IE does not.
