Images not coming in IE6

Hi,

I am really cross with IE6...

I have a problem which started when I booted up this morning, and it is only affecting this machine.

If an image is not cached from previous visit, the image will not show in the browser. I get '(x Items Remaining) Downloading Image http://www.somesite.com/pic.gif'.

I haven't changed anything in IE settings as far as I know today. I have also rebooted and reset to defaults to see if that will help - but no dice there.

I have rebooted my DNS server, and my modem/switch etc to no gain. Plugging into the network with wire rather than using the wirless also doesnt help.

I am running IE6.0 on XP Professional.

I have also had problems with page loadings. I sometimes have to 'F5' a page to get rid of a server cannot be found message.

Is this something to do with caching? Can I sort it? Is it more likely to be a problem with the ADSL modem or server? My other Win computers work afaik no probs and my linuxes and bsds are also fine.

Any ideas whats wrong?

This may seem a bit elementry, but have you you dumped your temporary internet files?

Here's some more food for thought:

hmm it doesn't seem to be any of them

although after shutting off _all_ my computers for about 15 minutes and booting them all up again the images seem improved - although some external sites still cause problems (internal network pages are much better)

Man, I've been all over the place. No real solutions. Will keep my eyes peeled.
