I have the same problem today, using NS 6.2.1 -- site comes in OK with IE6, but just spins its wheels on a blank page with NS, eventually coming back with "connection refused". I ran the page through the W3C HTML validation service (using IE), and after an inordinately long time, it responded with this:
"Fatal Error: no document type declaration; will parse without validation I could not parse this document, because it uses a public identifier that is not in my catalog. You should make the first line of your HTML document a DOCTYPE declaration, for example, for a typical HTML 4.01 document..." I tried again, selecting HTML 4.01 Transitional (as likely to be the most forgiving). Again, it took a long, long time, then responded with a huge list of code errors, from improper nesting to missing tags. The page is basically a horrible mess. No wonder NS is choking on it -- so should any decent browser.
