Totally baffled on web site error ...

[RCPWISC]

Thanks for the continued assistance.

I tried disabling the firewall using [pre]sudo ufw disable[/pre].  No help.

I installed PlayOnLinux and Internet Explorer 8, but the web browser refused to visit the page.  It loads a few pages, but most of them come up as not reachable. 

I'm thinking there must be some strange compatibility issue ........
