This is *REALLY* weird and I haven't been able to find anything out there that 
discusses this problem.
 
I have several Windows 2000 SP3 servers with IE6.1 installed.  When I open 
Windows Explorer, I get the list of available drives in the left-side pane, but 
the right side never shows.  The globe in the upper-right corner spins and 
spins, but never shows anything on the right side.  If I hit F5 to refresh, the 
list is displayed immediately.  Incredibly annoying....
 
Then to make things interesting, surfing web pages (i.e., Windows Update) is a 
challenge.  When I type a URL into IE, the globe spins and spins and never 
displays anything.  I hit F5, but nothing happens.  If I resize the window ever 
so slightly, the page is displayed.
 
HELP!  Either my server or I are going insane!  :)
 
Thanks!
