The only thing I can think of is what program you are using. Netscape or Internet Explorer should work fine. Some others may not.

Thanks for checking guys, using IExplorer 6 and Xp Prof. Very odd as its worked all along until recently. It's not the firewall as turning it off has no change. My next call is to SBC dsl as their browser intergrates with XP. I'll keep checking.

Of course, it is working fine for me too.

A couple of suggestion I have for you:

1) Make sure if you have a Pop-Up blocker that you either disable it, or usually holding down the Control Key on your keyboard while clicking the Ebay Item link (C3 Emblems, for example) will allow the new page to come up.

2) Make sure you have cookies enabled for C3VR.com, C3VetteRegistry.com, Ebay.com, and mediaplex.com

Let us know if you find out what the problem was!

All cookies are being accepted. Pop up blocker is disabled and firewall is not an issue but still can't get through. Clicking "shopping" gets me the main screen in the orig. window, clicking on "body" gets me the second page in orig. window. Clicking on "emblem" opens a new window which states page unavailable/check lan settings and in the top Blue bar states cannot find dns server. Sbc tech support was no help on this issue. Thanks for the input guys.
Forgot to mention that the control key has no effect either.

Ok, I finally found the answer. Evidently it's a Spyware/Adware issue as programs such as Norton Internet Security and Spy Sweeper, both of which I run, block url's with tags such as "qksrv,comission junction,& mediaplex" from viewing and you get the unavailable message instead. I had to edit a file called hosts in the "windows\system32\drivers\etc" folder and wipe out references to above. The auctions then appeared normally. I don't know when or how this file is created but once there disabeling or turning off security, pop-up & Ad blocking have no effect. I noticed upon exiting a msg from spy sweeper that tracking cookies had been removed from mediaplex and qksrv. Thanks to all that tried to help.

Glad you found the answer!
Now "The Support Gang" will know something else to suggest to anyone else that has this issue.
