Shawn.
Not at all , my friend , not at all.
I'm just a poor, lonesome cowboy, and a far way from home 
However, browsed instant microsoft support
(Technet) for yer :
The only Issue i found for ie 4.01 was when
it is used to ODBC-query a database with ASP
on an IIS, or when running large ASP files
while SSL security is enabled...(Q155116)
but this is causing an invalid page fault in
kernel32.dll on w9x ...there are several possible workarounds, the best i found is :
-make sure that no dll's are located on Desktop ! there are several other articles linked on this one , maybe another one is valuable for You!
-> Never worked with checkpoint firewalls,
-> Sp3 is ok [would rather use it than sp4]
-> but , one moment ... there is another article : Q164073 ! 'ASP Queries when SSL enabled Gives incomplete results or Errors':
and there is only a workaround for ie 3.01,
sorry!
ok however the workaround looks like this:
Go to registry -> find ASP\Parameters ->
change BufferingOn value to 1 !
think this fits only IIS ?!?!? Yep , i couldn't find the key on my machine....
maybe the Sites are using IIS ???? no , i don't hink so ... 
So maybe one of the following solves the prob.: 
-> upgrade to sp 6a, or
-> upgrade to ie 5, or
-> check for Checkpoint support, or
-> disable browsing for sites with IIS!
