HHTP Error 406 caused by nLite / removal of something?

[Woagie]

Hi.

I made a new version of nLited XP a couple of days ago, and since then I am having problems reaching one of the websites I visit. It is giving me error HTTP 406. I have had confirmation from another forum member that everything is OK, so all I can think is it could be caused by something I've removed. Any ideas? I have made many versions of nLite XP over the years and this is the first time I have encountered any problems.

Here is a list of the stuff I removed:

Customized by nLite v1.4.1 - www.nliteos.com

I used SP2 and RyanVM's Update Pack 2.2.1b3 on a clean XP, btw.

Can you post that link?

Did you install some Firewall, tried to disable it?

Tried other browsers?

Some say try disabling javascript temporary to see if it helps.

Basically it shouldn't be your issue, they all point to the server issue

Hi Nuhi

EDIT: I solved the problem. On Sygate's Options tab, there's a check box for "Allow Stealth Mode Browsing". This had become checked without me realizing it. I unchecked it and now it's fine.

Sorry to bother you all with my problems! All is good again. Thanks for the reply, Nuhi.
