For the last week I have been not able to connect to www.discovercard.com
through IE. I can connect to all other websites I try. I get a message
when I run the connect diagnostic that the site is online and my firewall is
configured correctly but that there may be another firewall somewhere
blocking it. I tried it with both IE7 and IE8.

Have you tried adding it to your "trusted sites"?

Can't open it with IE7 on WinXP or Vista. IE6 on WinXP gives a partial page
(left-hand column?) and a script error (invalid character).

The IP address for this site is 199.38.149.1. I added it to my trusted site
list. Still can't connect.

When I run "Diagnose connection problems" I get a message that says the
site is online, my firewall is configured correctly, but a remote firewall
may exist between the two computers.

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately.

I'm running McAfee Security Center. Same for the past year and no problems.
Normal updates. The problem started after the last updates MS laid on us
last week. Checking some of the newsgroups it seems like others are having
similar problems with other sites. One I saw that couldn't be pulled up is
nbc.com. I don't have a problem with that particular site.

McAfee is known to cause many problems. Sometimes they don't show up
immediately.
Replace McAfee with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows
Defender. Disabling McAfee is not enough. You need to completely uninstall
it.

I uninstalled McAfee and have been uninstalling all the latest windows
updates one-by-one. Still no solution to the can't connect to
www.discovercard.com. I also used msconfig to turn off all startup
programs. I'm running with the Windows firewall only now.

Right-click on the IE shortcut icon and select the Start without add-ons
option. You can then manage which add-ons are enabled, in Tools | Manage
Add-ons, after you've started IE7. If this solves your problem, enable
add-ons one at a time, testing as you go, until you find the culprit.
