Internet Explorer 6 takes several minutes to open each instance.
IE 6 has been working fine for several years on my Win2k machine. All of a sudden a customer reports that when she clicks IE first thing in the morning IE will open the window but just sit at "connecting" for several minutes before actually loading the homepage(or requisit clicked hyperlink).... that same morning the very same thing happened on my Win2k machine. I have found a couple of other users on the net who have had the same problem but no one can seem to find a cure for this.
Hopefully it's ok to link to another user's problem as their's are as accurately described as mine without me having to re-type everything they have typed....

For me the solution of using Mozilla is fine but for my customer it's not a viable option ...any other help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I don't even have a starting point to work on this problem it's so strange. There is no spyware or viruses.... I'm kept up to date with Symantec 10 corportate, Adaware and Hijackthis. None have found a single instance of concern.

I have seen this a few times on multiple customer systems. I would recommend disabling all the add ons installed into IE. Then you can work your way enabling one at a time to see if you can identify which may be bogging it down.

War1.... thanks so much for all the possibilities.
Disabling 3rd party extensions did the trick. IE is working exactly as it did before.
After learning that this was the problem I checked my login script and found that our
network team had recently implemented a partial IE "security" patch which changed
some of the advanced settings (the 3rd party setting obviously being one of those
settings)....I wonder why this problem only affects some users and not all users.
Either way, it works correctly and now I can look a little deeper into why only
some are feeling it's bite!
