I saw that too. I can't believe people are so excited about a free web based email service.

Okay, here's something interesting. I just wrote a little program to use the URLDownloadToFile windows API call and get its return error. The error is -2146697208 which translates into hex FFFFFFFF 800C0008.
So I search the MS KB on 800C0008 and get this. Which seems to have no bearing at all on what my problem is. Darn. So I'm still stumped.

or beanie baby collectors
I worked with a woman that I introduced to eBay back in '96. She made over $4k on those dumb things in one bulk sale of all the ones she bought on eBay after she got bored of buying them. She swore off eBay forever after that.

Tony,
First, what version IE is it and second, does it have XML capabilities different than the boxes that work?

Well she netted 4K, I think it was around $2k spent to obtain them. I think she realized that the chance for a profit margin like that wasn't going to be around long, so she bailed.

Okay, my invitations are all gone now. Hopefully, we've got enough people left with invitations to take care of everybody.

Right. I'm thinking it has to do with the ole IE XML plug-in that was in use before XML parsing was added to IE.
You've had that machine for a while so the XML parser is probably legacy at this point. Try getting rid of it.

I'm thinking it has to do with the ole IE XML plug-in that was in use before XML parsing was added to IE. Except I don't have that plugin on my work system, and I get the same behavior at work. Or, at least, that plug-in isn't listed in Add/Remove programs on my work system. And for that matter, I don't know what it's doing on my home system because I'm sure I built that home system (fresh-installed Win2K) post-IE6 and wouldn't have needed to install it.
Also, when I use the API call "URLDownloadToFile" which should just grab whatever's at a given URL and save that to a file (no parsing or redirecting), I get an error return instantly (the one I listed above), without any parsing going on.

Oh, that point hasn't been lost on me. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what exactly I do to all of my systems that could cause this. I'm currently working on setting up my test box with a fresh install of Win2K so that I can start adding crap and tweaking it to resemble my current system, and finding out at which point it breaks.

Perhaps bots aren't allowed to use GMail . . .

Anyone know of anyplace on a windows system besides the HOSTS file that could screw up DNS resolution of a given address? For instance, do Windows PCs have any sort of local DNS caching?

"ipconfig /flushdns" will flush the DNS resolver cache. I doubt it will fix the problem you're having though.
