Can't open .biz websites

[mlrsea]

I am running Windows 2k & IE 6. Every website with a .biz extension that I try to open comes back saying "The page cannot be displayed". I am able to open sites with all other extensions I am aware of (ie - .com, .net, .gov). What could be the problem?

Merlin,

Thanks for your quick reply. No I don't get a message like the one you discribed. Typically, I try to connect to these site through a link on a .com or .net site. The link address doesn't show an https.

are you open to an experiment download firefox from mozilla and see if you get the same results..or try ie6 reverting it back to default options..have you got a firewall which might also causes this...
