 Post subject: WTF?!?!? IE being a pain in the ass with Seek

I switched to Mozilla Firefox about a month ago, and can use it for just about anything except searching on Seek. I can view the forums, and I can use the search page, even see the results. But when I try to look at the individual entries, I get a "Not Found" page saying that the url I'm requesting wasn't found on this server. So I still have to use Internet Exploder to look for shared files. In IE, I can actually browse the person's files and look around, but within a few seconds (not always, but WAY too often) I get that damn "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" dialog box. *grits teeth*

Does anyone have any idea why it's doing this? I wouldn't even bother trying to fuck with it if I could get Mozilla to work, so any advice on that would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

i use firefox, it works just beautifully, the only thing is that you can't actually open the person's computer with it. that's why you just click start -> run then type \\<person's machine name or ip address> and then it opens a windows explorer (not internet explorer... there's a very fine but distinctive difference) window showing the person's files.
