I'm having trouble with attachments on my fudForum.

Mozilla users can deal with attachments just fine.

Using IE 6, attachments that generate a "save" dialog fail. Attachments handled in-line by the browser like jpegs work when you click on them, but zips, gzips, ppt's, xls's etc do not.

right-clicking on the link and selecting "save target as" generates the following error message from IE:
"The file could not be written to the cache"

Clicking the link, and selecting "save" from the resultant dialog generates:
"Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found please try again later"

I've tried disabling referrer checks (in general and for attachments), rebuilding the theme, and doing a consistency check on the forum.

The apache logs indicate a successful access and do not report errors when the IE client tries the file.

The same IE client CAN download gzips from THIS forum, but not mine.

Is there a setting I should check?
