>>>Just curious - are you using a proxy, and do you know if your ISP using a web page cache?<<< Hi David. I am not using a proxy. Unfortunately, I am not too techie and don't know if my ISP is using a web page cache. It happened when I was using both Netscape 4.07 and Internet Explorer 4.0. At times it took me 4 minutes before I manged to get in.... Brad, I forgot to mention in my PM to you that it also happened while I was using a different dial up provider. regards Frank

David, Did you ever find out the origin of the "squid" problem? Lately, the ERROR messages are a little different since it indicates the web site for the "Squid" software. Here's what I got last week: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 30 13:46:50 EST 1998 ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: si4.go2net.com:81/~wsapi/investor/preview The following error was encountered: Zero Sized Reply Squid did not receive any data for this request. Generated Wed, 30 Dec 1998 18:45:57 GMT by si4.go2net.com (Squid/2.1.PATCH1) Squid site: (http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/ ) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Somewhere in this puzzle, a proxy server is involved. I'm wondering if the proxy server is requesting the URL at SI, and SI is temporarily down or overloaded, or if it's something else. btw...Are you saying the proxy server can be located at a) SI site, b) ISP site, or c) some intermediary location between (a) and (b)? Did you ever find out which one? On the Web site for Squid, there's resources to ask questions. There's even a Squid bulletin board, so I may ask them unless you already know what's going on. Thanks
