I'm trying to access a URL from my PC. Using Chrome and Firefox it works. Using IE8 and Safari it fails. In IE I get the standard message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

Both Chrome and IE both use the Internet Options from Windows.

What could be causing this problem? What can I do to try and diagnose and solve the problem?

Might IE be configured to use a proxy that Chrome isn't? – Iszi Rory or Isznti Dec 1 '11 at 6:17

Without knowing the website or seeing any diagnostic data, there are a lot of factors. – surfasb Dec 1 '11 at 6:19
@Iszi The proxy configuration in Chrome goes to the Windows Internet Option dialog which is the same one used in IE. – Anthony Dec 1 '11 at 6:56
