Strange Error with IE but not with firefox

Hi

When I try to signout of a page, I get this error only with Internet Explorer. The code works fine with firefox. Can someone tell me why? Thanks

Server Error in '/' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description:An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It would be better if we see the code and try to know what is causing that error.

regards

Thanks! There you go:

Sub SignOut(objSender As Object, objArgs As EventArgs)
FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
Response.Redirect(Request.UrlReferrer.ToString())
End Sub

The error message is:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Strange IIS Problem

I am working on WinXP Pro (SP2) & use IIS5.1 as the intranet server to
run ASP applications. I connect to the Internet using a LAN
connection. My PC is a standalone machine.
Of late, what I find is if I am not connected to the Internet, it
takes quite some time for local intranet ASP pages (that physically
reside in my PC) to get downloaded completely but if I am connected to
the Internet, then the same ASP pages get downloaded in a jiffy. Since
last 2-3 days, I have been noticing this strange problem. Earlier
local intranet ASP pages would get downloaded within no time
irrespective of whether I was connected to the Internet or not.
What could be the probable cause of this eccentricity & how do I
resolve it?
Please note that I have been working with the same setup (i.e. same IP
address to connect to the Internet, same ports etc.) since last 3-4
years but this is the first time I am encountering this problem.
Another petty discrepancy - usually whenever IE is opened (assuming
that the home page is set to 'about:blank'), the right-hand side of
the Status Bar shows the text 'Internet'. When a ASP page on the local
intranet is accessed, the text on the right-hand side of the Status
Bar in IE changes from 'Internet' to 'Local Intranet' but now I find
that even if a ASP page on the local intranet is accessed in IE, the
text on the right-hand side of the Status Bar still remains
'Internet'; it doesn't change to 'Local Intranet'!On Mar 1, 3:19 am, r...@.rediffmail.com wrote:

let's assume that it's not related to ASP.NET :-)
It seems that you need to check LAN Settings in IE - Tools - Internet
Options. I think you should bypass proxy for local sites and except
the local addresses (for example 10.* if your intranet IP starts from
10.*)

I've been getting the exact same problem myself...IIS 5.1 is dog slow to return a localhost page.

Also started in the last few days. I've been searching all over to find a solution but no luck..

Seems to be tied into display of images, as htm pages with no images come up quickly.

Hope somebody who has found an answer, sees this.
