She has IE6, Kai, as do I. I have only observed the behavior with msnews.

Then use other newsservers for comparison. I'm not astonished that you get
a connection problem to msnews from time to time. I haven't been using it
for years, it's about ten times slower as the one I use.
There might *still* be a problem on your PC or down the line before the
server, but you cannot use msnews for testing this. It's like testing a
street with bumps for smooth driving.
