Website Page Cannot be Found Error

I encountered a very odd error this afternoon. A website that has been in
production for quite some time suddenly came up with a page cannot be found
on the main index.aspx page for the site. 5 mins previosly, the user had been
using the site fine...running a long query on the page whose timeout values
are set very high. As soon as I encountered this error, I tried to refresh
the page - no success. I went to to a neighbors pc and loaded the site fine.
I then went back to the problem pc, logged the user off and logged in as me -
page loaded fine. Then logged back in as problem user - page did not load.
Clearly a error specific to one user....but not sure why?

I could ping the production box fine and the problem pc had access to other
asp.net web sites hosted by the same IIS instance. My guess is that there
must be some time of process on IIS that is preventing the user from
accessing this website - like a sandbox or a deadlock issue that is
protecting the box from this user? Very odd....I have been doing web
development for 8 years, never encountered this issue before.

Oh, and the server's event log....empty. And I did a iisreset on the box and
the user still cannot access site.

Must be an issue with the user accessing this one web app? Where should I
look?
The error was non-application specific, just the general white generic page
not found message.

I appreciate any suggestions/comments.

Can the user ping the website ip address? What if they use the IP address
in the IE address bar ?
