This happens sporadically whenever I try to access slashdot from work. I'm on IE 5.5, and Win 2K.
If I try to use my bookmark or just type in www.slashdot.org into my address bar, it begins to try to download the file "/" from the site, and it won't let me go there.
Any ideas?
you have any kind of blocking software at work?
Yeah, but that's not the way it works. It also only does that when I try to go to the front page. I just went to www.slashdot.org/sdfsadf and it worked fine - it brought up a 404 like it should, and I was able to browse the site... Weird.
well im lost... who knows...
Sounds like whatever the browser is trying to load doesnt have a proper mime type defined......therefore it is dumping it into a file instead of viewing it.......thats one guess anyway...
My advice; drop IE like the pile of poo it is....Its a pretty good browser, but its intergration into the system can be a pain in the butt as you cant reinstall it if something goes to pot
Get Opera like me....
Maybe I should mention I can't install anything on this computer...
Oh right....then your screwed......
sounds like you have a... hmm.. yeah.. i dunno...
