ftp, telnet , tracert works on command prompt over my dsl. But, IE 6.0 says "website found, waiting for reply" and never displays the page. This happens in a win 2003 server and also in a win Xp home machine. So I assume its not a problem with the machines.

Any suggestions?

Its just the way IE works. You can't trust it's status bar (among other things). When I'm troubleshooting website connectivity issues, I use a different browser (Firebird).

pradeeponline, those different protocols work on different ports, so yes based on your network settings they could work but port 80 for http could be blocked or down.

Does this happen on one specific site or on more? Is it an internal site on your network?

Do you work over a proxy for http?
