The remote device or resource won’t accept the connection
First IE (8) says it Cannot display the page, then I click Diagnose Network problems and receive the message “The remote device or resource won’t accept the connection”.
I know this to be a lie. I have the site open in Firefox. I only got here because my Free Download Manager stopped working. It gets it’s Internet setting etc. off the back of IE. IE version 8.0.7600.16385.
This problem ONLY happens on my account, not to any of the other accounts on my system.
First of all I found references to “Fix IT”. What an odd idea. Click here to download this executable to copy onto the computer with no network! (back to CD’s?)
Then I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956196. Many of the suggestions can be easily discarded – I know I have network and browser access to the web, I know that it is not system wide, but account specific.
Suggestion 8 work a treat.
This problem is most likely a hangover from a recent attack which I thought I’d defended and tidied up.
