Hi,
I have no problem surfing the net on my pc except the only hiccup is when I typed http//:www.paypal.com or any other sites relate to Paypal,I got on the screen: The page cannot be displayed". Paypal tech support had tried all tricks in their capability without any luck. Now I turn to your help.

These are things I had done:

Deleted all cookies and temp. internet files.
Scanned for virus.
Cipher inscription is set 128 bits.

Many thanks,

Ocean5.

How about disabling IE Content Advisor?

Hello friends...
This might be irrelevant, but make certain that you're logging into the legit Paypal...look for the "https..."
There are a few bogus Paypal websites that try to obtain your personal info. They look exactly like the actual PayPal website.
I am not 100% positive so somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that you will see the "https" when logged into the (legit) Paypal website.

This probably has nothing to do with your specific situation, but I thought I'd just mention it.

Hope it might help you or others; good luck.

Tommyo, Yes you're correct address should be:

"https://www.paypal.com/"

Ocean5, hope this helps, if not what Firewall are you using? I believe some automatically block certain sites because of adds/popups that are blacklisted in their database, someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Regards,

Neohet.

Tommyo and Neobet are both correct. Quoted from
Paypal page for website security:

Type in the PayPal URL: To safely and securely access the PayPal website or your PayPal account, open a new web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and type in the following:

https://www.paypal.com/

Thanks all,

I had tried http, https, and www.paypal.com. None of these worked. I just found out that any page site from paypay in Google search couldn't open either.

I am using IE SP2, windows XP home.

I don't have problem with ISP as the Mac at home has no problem.

Is there any dif. solution.

Thanks,

Ocean5
