403 Forbidden: You were denied access because: Access denied by access control list

Not my 'puter, fixing for friend
Dell Laptop gets the message in the subject line when connecting.......
I can still get emails (OE)
XP, IE 6

No web pages load, can't update virus scanner/spybot or Adaware

Tried deleting the dialup connection and recreating.
Tried creating another user with Admin rights.
Tried restoring to a time before problem.
I have uninstalled Kaazza, and got rid of the lurgies I could with adaware
(with old definitions)

I suspect she created the problem when she downloaded Kazza (don't go
there...:-()



Thoughts?

Use firefox perhaps?

i had same problems when trying to connect to my router using IE. i got the
404 or 403 error.

used firefox got it working.
Try this

Open IE, go to tools> internet options> security tab> click custom level or
medium level what ever you have it at, then when have security settings,
scroll right down to the page where you should have user authentication. i
had mine set on anonymous logon. and i got the 403 404 error, i changed it
to automatic logon only within intranet zone and it workd for me.

LSPfix might do the trick:

Also, linked for that page is:

MS site says to create a new ISP connection!

Thanks for the suggestion Bob, but afraid it did not work.
Can't really use Firefox as the owner is a Microslave

Does it say which server's access control list is denying access?

Sounds like a proxy server.

Is there anything in the proxy server settings. They're in Tools /
Internet Options / Connections somewhere. Look under LAN settings and
maybe under the settings for the Dial-Up connection.. if there's any
proxy stuff enabled, turn it off.

 

I have since found the problem.
The owner of the computer is with Slingshot and paying her account will
alleviate the problem (hehe)
It would have been nice if Slingshot had re directed her to a page with a
message saying as much.....
