Hi Gerard,
Thank you for your reply. I really do not understand were the problem is, I=
 am tending to think it is a problem at the routing level now. I ask two of=
 my co-workers to go home and test the website in their machines using vist=
a, they did, and were able to access it in IE 7.x and Firefox; however, I s=
till puzzle, why are the machines using windows XP downward able to load th=
e site in IE or Firefox. I know that you or someone else mention something =
regarding IPV6 TCP window encapsulation at the routing level, yet I am test=
ing vista at work (over 3000 nodes), this is one of the test I am performin=
g before deploying it. It seems weir that www.freebsd.org is the only websi=
te experiencing the problem so far.=20

BTW, the FreeBSD servers in out LAN also cannot access www.freebsd.org;as a=
 temporary solution, I have been able to access the handbook via www.uk.fre=
ebsd.org .  This is a really weird issue that is bothering me and I won't s=
top until it is solve, sooner or later our client side will be migrated to =
Windows Vista hence our users are not  computer literate to migrate to Unix=
 or Linux at this point in time. I still looking for clues if anyone has fo=
und a solution to this, meanwhile I appreciate your effort Gerard and that =
of many others that have contribute to resolve this matter.=20
