Unbale to browse specific website
 

I've got a clients computer, running Windows ME, that is unable to view
images from a certain family of websites. All the sites seem to use the same
server for their .jpg images.

On my computer, running through the same router, these sites display
normally. If I save a page from the websites in question, and put them on my
server, then the ME pc can browse it successfully. So, there's no issue with
it not being able to display .jpgs, or with page coding.

I can successfully ping the ip address of the server with the images. Trying
to browse directly to a picture gives a "page cannont be found" error 404.

For some reason, this computer is unable to access files on this specific
server. It's bizzare. Anyone got any suggestions??? I've reset IE settings.
Tried Firefox, with the same result. Checked the host file, etc, etc.

The websites in question are www.trademe.co.nz, and any of their sister
sites - www.oldfirends.co.nz etc.

Can the problem PC ping these sites? Have they perhaps been blocked,
either by an entry in the hosts file or some other means such as having
been put in the Restricted Sites zone (Internet Options | Security)?

Yup, it can ping the site and get a response. I've check the host file and
restricted sites, both are as expected.

That site appears to have RedSherrif cookies - perhaps you have an
aggressive security policy in place?
