Bugbear apparently corrupted some files in Internet Explorer. If you should encounter this problem, when IE bring up the page, go to about, cipher code -- should say 128 bit. If it says 0 bit, encription will cause dns error due to correupted file, and can't correct itself. He was using IE 6.0; reloaded 5.5 -- the error still occurred, but offered a link to fix the problem. Fix did not work. Proceeded to remove all files related to 6.0 and then downloaded and installed 6.0 again. Everything works fine. Thanks for the suggestions.
