Unable to open/download documents from IIS5 with IE

I have a problem with an old server running IIS5 / SPS 2001.

All of a sudden it is not possible to download e.g. a word-document
placed on the server. This is the case for files in SPS 2001 and files
placed on the web server.

Typing e.g. this URL: http://intranet/test.doc in IE 7 results in
absolutely nothing - not even an error message.

When opening the same URL in FireFox everything works fine.

When opening the document via a link on a web page everything works
fine also.

I've restarted the server and uninstalled recent windows updates, but
no luck.

There have been no major updates/changes to the server recently.

The HTTP headers are:

application/x-shockwave-flash, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/

Any ideas?

RE: Unable to open/download documents from IIS5 with IE

What about right click & save target as...
working?
