    HTTP Error 403: Forbidden "You are not authorized to view this page. Please try loading a different page."

    So I would be surfing along fine, then I get to a site that gives me this error message. Well, OK, I can deal with that - just go to another site, right? well now I can't go to any other sites either as I get this message everywhere I go so I have to pull the battery and wait 4 minutes for the phone to reboot just to clear this problem. Is there any way to deal with this without pulling the battery? Is there some configuration that I am missing?

    Thanks!

    HTTP 403 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The 403 Forbidden HTTP status code indicates that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server won't let the client access what was requested.

    This response is returned by the Apache web server when directory listings have been disabled. Microsoft IIS responds in the same way when directory listings are denied.
    ...

    403.1 - Execute access forbidden.
    403.2 - Read access forbidden.
    403.3 - Write access forbidden.
    403.4 - SSL required.
    403.5 - SSL 128 required.
    403.6 - IP address rejected.
    403.7 - Client certificate required.
    403.8 - Site access denied.
    403.9 - Too many users.
    403.10 - Invalid configuration.
    403.11 - Password change.
    403.12 - Mapper denied access.
    403.13 - Client certificate revoked.
    403.14 - Directory listing denied.
    403.15 - Client Access Licenses exceeded.
    403.16 - Client certificate is untrusted or invalid.
    403.17 - Client certificate has expired or is not yet valid.
    ...
    This error is not uncommon and usually means something has changed at the offending website and some specific resources are not longer available.

    Thanks for the response Reed. Yes, I've seen this occasionally when surfing at home on IE and I know it has to do with security and permissions. But I was wondering when I get this error on my BB why it does not allow me to access any sites at all. It's as if a setting on my device had changed. Maybe it's trying to set a corrupt cookie?
