Why can't WatiN load Bing.com?

Question

I'm using WatiN 2.1.0 with IE11.

If I use the following code, WatiN sucessfuly navigates to the page, but it doesn't seem to load in the page I'm requesting. Instead, it thinks it's looking at about:blank.

var Browser = new IE();
Browser.GoTo("www.bing.com");
Browser.Url; // = about:blank

I get the same behavior when I attempt to load any page in my intranet.

I originally assumed that IE11 was the problem. But, if I replace bing.com with google.com or yahoo.com or stackoverflow.com, it works like a charm. Any thoughts on why some pages can load but not others?

Running your process as administrator should allow it to work.

Alternatively, disabling protected mode for your Internet zone should work equally well:
