"A" URL, or any / many URLs?

If many, make sure settings in Polipo are correct  - & Polipo is 
running.  Also, if using Firefox, d/l latest Torbutton alpha ver from 
Tor Project site.  It will set the Tor proxy settings correctly in FX.

If using IE... don't.  Seriously, you can configure IE to work, but 
using Firefox is safer.  Or, just d/ l the Tor Browser bundle, w/ pre 
config'd Firefox included.

Can install it to a separate folder than other Fx installs.  to be able 
to run  a 2nd instance of Fx, create a separate profile for the Tor 
Browser.  Then in Properties of desktop icon, in the Target box, after 
the executable file, add the profile name & no remote command:   
\firefox.exe" -p fx-shrd-7-22-10 -no-remote
