Expand all | Collapse all

SYMPTOMS

When you visit a Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, some content that is on the Web page may not load. For example, some images, such as GIF images, that are on the Web page may not load. Instead, a red "x" appears.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the Web site or an intermediate device, such as a load balancing switch, responds to the Internet Explorer 6 GET request with an HTTP 302 (redirect) server response packet and the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) FIN (that is, finished) bit is set, but the TCP RESET bit is not.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem in Internet Explorer 6, click View, and then click Refresh.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
