Was wondering if someone could answer this. It is quite puzzling. I have done extensive searches on this and have been unable to find an answer.

Every time I try to load the apple.com website, I receive the error:

'Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.'

This is using Mozilla 1.3. When tried with IE 6, nothing happens. Packets are being sent and received, yet it is an infinite loop with no error messages, not even 'Page could not be displayed'.

Before anyone asks, I DO have cookies enabled.

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look here, hope it helps:

Thanks for the reply, however the link you provided does not apply to my situation. I can view any other site on the web, except for Apple.com (with any web browser). I know it isn't the site because it works fine from my work machine. Thanks for your help anyway.

Well, I finally figured it out, thanks to Midknyte at the SysOpt forums!

It was my HOSTS file. I had configured some mappings of IP addresses to host names using this file, and Apple.com was one of them. I had done this quite some time ago, and completely forgot about it. Apparently Apple.com's IP has changed since then, so that's why it would just redirect me in an indefinite loop.

Thanks Midknyte!
