Tried the exact same thing going through advanced search. Same result.
I'm guessing that it is something on my side.
I did the same steps you list for both searching this particular thread as well as searching the whole Tech Issues forum, and I'm still not receiving errors. We don't have Win2K here, though, so it's possible it's something to do with that plus IE6. I checked on WinXP and OSX.
(the 15 second warning is expected, though, since you refreshed the page - causing the same search to run again before the flood control time limit was met)
Here's my search result from the Tech Issues forum:

(it may expire soon as more searches are performed...)
It sounds like it may indeed be something on your end if it's happening to you all the time on many forums, and it's something I can't duplicate. Is there any way you can check FT from a computer outside your company's firewall, or from home?
