This is a simple issue but difficult to determine the cause of. I have a website that is coded in java and using jsp servlets. When submitting a form I receive the error "The Page Cannot Be Displayed". It is the DNS one. This happens in IE 6 sp2 but not IE 7 or Firefox. There are thousands of clients connecting to this site a day that are running IE 6 sp2 on a corporate network.
When disabling friendly HTTP errors the issue is resolved. I have read that this kind of issue can be found with streaming media content, but there is no streaming media in this page. Does anyone know of any other possible reasons why this would be happening? I have found a workaround but it is not a solution.
Also, it may be irrelevant, but I ran Wireshark while recreating the issue and it appears that the client tears down the connection when the error occurs, meaning it initiates the FIN packet tear down sequence. When the friendly errors box is unchecked everything looks as normal as browsing the rest of the site.
