So today I was trying to surf to www.nbc.com on my Toshiba M400 tablet and of course IE7 would only produce "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" tho any other computer on the network could view www.nbc.com with no issues.
Using Google and searching on "cannot view www.nbc.com" I found:

The tablet version of xp and vista install a custom user-agent for IE that makes nbc.com think it’s a mobile device. http://www.nbc.com is forwarding tablets to nbc.starcut.us, which is a wap compatible version of http://www.nbc.com for mobile devices.
This is a band-aid but remove the following registry key, delete the IE cache, and close all browsers and http://www.nbc.com starts working again.
