Do you keep getting timeouts (page throws a 404 error) while using Internet Explorer? If you hit refresh, the page loads up fine. This doesn’t happen in other browser like Firefox.
There’s a receive timeout setting in the registry which I guess controls the length of time IE waits for a response from the server. In my case, either there was a hiccup somewhere (during installation) or some software I installed “touched” this key but the value was set to 1270 (decimal). I changed it to a higher value and now am able to use Internet Explorer without any issues.
P/s: Thanks to Sanjay for sharing.
