Vista - NOAA weather website cannot be reached

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/er/box/

This website and all the offices in the northern state and east coast can
not be reached but southern state offices can. I noticed this problem in
Beta but still not fix on RC1

Works for me on RC1. Adjust your IE7 settings and see if you can get it to
work.

Adjust which IE settings?

A month or two ago, they changed their website around. Have you tried
starting over from the basic site to get the info you want? Don't use an
old link, but start over. Right now I am looking at the URL below, but it
may not be the one you want.

http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/gra...rs/nemetro.php

Otherwise, I could get to the site in XP, but not 5728.

Go to "internet options" and select the advanced tab. You can screw around
with settings there if you want. First thing I did was disable the phishing
filter and enabled SSL 2.0 and other stuff like that. I don't know the
magic button and you may not be comfortable enabling or disabling some of
the settings. All I know is that I am able to go to this site where others
aren't. Might even be ISP related, but I doubt that. Good Luck.

I have noaa.gov weather set as one of my home pages with no problem. I set my
security level for high in the internet zone, and med. high in the trusted
zone. When I can't access something I really want but know the site is good,
I put it in the trusted zone and leave it there if I want to keep accessing
it. If I only want to access it once, I add it to the trusted zone, then
remove it when I am done. I also have the IE-SPYAD list of restricted sites
loaded into Internet Explorer for additional safety. Had to use the registry
"Merge" feature instead of "Install.bat" on Vista, but it worked.

It seems that IE settings are a big factor in IE7, and that's not a bad
thing if you take the time to fine tune it...
