IE 6 thinks Yahoo personals a Pop-Up?

I recently set up an HP Pavilion with XP Home and IE 6 for a customer. He can now longer access the Yahoo Personals page (we get the "this page is currently unavailable" default message page instead. Since the Yahoo pages open in a separate window, I think IE 6 is looking at them as pop-ups. I have all cookies
enabled and unsigned Active X and Java
applets are set to "prompt" for
installation. Content Advisor is not
enabled. Other than IE6 and XP, there
is no "nanny" software installed on the system. We e-mailed Yahoo (I figured they would know what it was already if it was caused by the default settings in IE 6). Their best idea was to re-install IE 6 or move to Netscape.

Anyone had a similar problem?

Am I the only one who doesn't know these things? BTW, anyone know why XP won't network with TCP/IP unless Connection Sharing is enabled? (Just another XP annoiyance I found, right after I discovered NetBEUI breaks Works.) OK, rant=off

Also BTW, IE 6 can't find this site either.

Sorry, Richard, we'll have to work a little harder for that fee. XP says the command completed successfully, but I still can't access Yahoo Personals (or this site) from the XP machine, even after re-booting.
