Before installing SP2, the IE6 didnt have any problem.
The IE6 cannot view website after installing SP2.
On the status bar, the URL is added extra www and .net at the end. It seems
the IE6 cannot find the correct one and try the similar.
From the command interpreter, it can ping the site.
Have tried from the IE,Tools->Internet Options->Advance then restore to
default, but not success.
Also have tried ipconfig /flushdns, the problem still.
Anyone has solution?
Which parameters should I check?
Thanx

a longshot, but possible Winsock got corrupted.
start>run
type in
netsh winsock reset
a reboot is required.
I have also seen lsp fix help. (google it)

1. Uninstall SP2 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

2. Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your HijackThis
log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis

Do not install SP2 until an expert gives your HijackThis log a clean bill of
health.

Are these saved shortcuts? Also, have you modified the prefixes? If so,
check your settings here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\UrlTemplate

I have tried your suggestion.
Now it is a little bit better.
When the IE first executed, the home address URL is able to load.
If any link is clicked, or another URL is entered, it cannot be loaded.
It has to reset the internet connection to get the new URL load.
One internet connection session can only load one web page.
What is this? worms?
Thanx

This is usually caused by malware being installed while SP2 was installed.
Uninstall SP2 and then eliminate malware before installing again. Also,
make sure your anti-virus is turned off while you install.
