Those timestamps don't match and you are not including
the part of the session that does work.  IF you are getting
the famous IE "page cannot be displayed" then you are probably
not getting to web server or ic, but something is screwed up
on page(s) **before** that.  Probably.  You really need to
compare logs from a complete session that works against one
that fails.  You might also want to set up something to
log the entire page returned be IC, including the headers.
