Hello - It appears that I am having troubles connecting to server when downloading Reader v8 on Adobe page. The Adobe Download Manager is in "Connecting" status for a while and then it fails withe the 408 Error message. These errors can indicate that the page was not found, that the client's request used invalid syntax, or that access to the page was denied.

I went to add/remove programs and removed all adobe and then went to the adobe file in program files and removed all older versions there. Then I went to the adobe website and downloaded ver 8. I got the same error. I unchecked all proxy's and rebooted. Still same error. I lowered the security for internet to med-low and low and same error. I added adobe.com to trusted sites and same error. I am on IE ver 6.0 sp2

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated - thanks
