Running XP, SP3 - Whenever I try to get on this board, I go to the log on
screen and put in my log in info and then I get the ie window that says it
cannot open this web site and it lists a couple of options to check for
connection etc. However, if I immediately click on the link to this website
in "Favorites" again, it opens up the site and shows me logged in. I have to
go through this every time I try to get on the site. Is is something in my
INternet Options settings??

Also, is there a setting that makes the browser open up maximized, instead
of small screen by default?
