Hi All.
I'm using Internet Explorer 5.0 here as my defauilt browser because is very fast, smooth and inteligent, creating a specific Favorites list when I access some URLs several times in the same day. Today August 20 I was forced replace IE5 by netscape Communicator on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 because a specific bug is occurring. When an URL must be redirected, as <http://www.operasoftware.com> to <http://www.opera.com>  Internet Explorer freezes the navigation and displays the alert: "The page cannot be displayed". I suspected that the link in Opera country was brook and tested it using Netscape 4.6; the Opera main-page was correctly displayed at 12:11 AM as you can see in the photo below:

Well, I decided try once again the Opera web site access using IE5, at 12:34AM and once again IE5 was freeze, displaying the alert that you can see in the first photo above. The Internet Explorer 5.0 that I'm using here I don't downloaded it. This browser was installed on my <C> partition by Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 Install Wizard. A simply updated it and added some plugins from the Microsoft web site <Windows Update>. I added also FrontPage Express 2.0 and this web editor is running just fine here. Note my Internet Explorer 5.0 downloaded from Microsoft web site have not the same problem and is running just fine on my Windows NT4 SP5.

Also today I'm crashed on Microsoft Upload Machine that can transfer entire web sites in few minutes from a source to Windows Way Community. I transferred a lot of pages and images of my web site to my personal address in Microsoft URL, the program was displayed the graphic ot the upload but any page is running on my Microsoft's URL. I noted that the Microsoft Server was displayed just the same alert that was displayed by IE5 on Windows 2000 when I tried access the Opera web site!
At this time I'm just dumping my IE5 in order to analyze it, because I suspect that this bug is in Windows 2000, not in the Internet Explorer.

In the photo below you can see my Netscape Communicator starting on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3. This browser is running just fine here and at this time I've not any problem.
