Maybe I'm not doing something correctly, or don't have some program/module, but it's been happening a little too much lately that a visitor would go to my website and in the logs I would see something like this: page not found 2007-03-12 07:55 taxonomy/term/6/0/feed Visitor. I don't quiet understand what's happening, but I see Page Not Found, I know that I've enabled the RSS feeds, and my head just starts to itch a little.

What do you see at that url?
Does your browser show XML content?
Do you have a taxonomy term with a term id of 6?

Yes, when I click on http://www.studentblock.com/rss.xml, I'm seeing the XML file's content, but it only works for the main page, not the categories and taxonomy. When I'm trying to subscribe for http://www.studentblock.com/taxonomy/term/9/0/feed, IE asks me if I want to save the file, whereas FF seems to be ok and asks if I want to use the built-in feed-reader. Alos, taxonomy/term/6 is courses/accounting/ac101, but there isn't anything there yet since the class was cancelled. I tried it for taxonomy/term/9 as well, which is courses/math/ma275 - I know there is a lot there b/c I'm working on that this season.

Taxonomy Listings
The IE vs Firefox thing is fairly normal. If Firefox does the right thing, the XML and mime types side of things should be ok.
Is this just the standard core taxonomy module, or have you also installed the Categories module? It looks like something has screwed up your taxonomy listings. What other modules have you installed?

Categories module
I'm not sure what you mean when you say Categories module. I'm using Drupal 5.1.

typo: 'category' module
If you were using it you probably would've spotted my typo :)
I'm not a user of it, but it is usually the culprit when taxonomy stuff breaks.
What other modules have you installed?

I've installed
the following modules related [in one way or another] to the RSS: Aggregator and Ping, but that's about it. I think I'll have to remove Aggregator since it only gets other sites' news, right? If it does, then I don't need it; however, I'll leave Ping to alert other sites once my site is updated. Do you need Cronjob for the Ping module? Tell me what happens when you enter http://www.studentblock.com/taxonomy/term/9/0/feed please. Because the Page not found message is a real pain in my neck - seems to me visitors/guests simply can't navigate properly through my website!
Anyway, why does IE ask me if I want to download the feed file, and when I click on download, I only have the feed file with no extension whatsoever? This isn't right, is it?

I don't think it is an RSS issue
The non feed /taxonomy/term/9 and /taxonomy/term/9/0 urls give 404s as well. So it seems your taxonomy set up is broken. Until you get them working as HTML listings, you won't be able to get a feed from them either.
As for the IE thing - don't worry about that until you have your taonomy pages working again.

Ok, this is what I have.
For courses/math/ma275 I have taxonomy/term/9, courses/english/eg101 - taxonomy/term/4, and the URL alias work properly. What can/should I fix?
--Billy | Major: Accounting | CityTech@CUNY | Student Block.
Still not working for me
those path aliases still give me the same 404s that the taxonomy/term/x urls did. And putting path aliases on taxonomy term listings doesn't affect what what you get with the original urls. Do you need to be logged in to view them?
What happens if you view those pages when not logged in?
Don't forget the average RSS reader will be coming in as an anonymous user.

When not loggen in
I'm not able to browse the categories, thus can't see the feeds in categories, I'm only able to subscribe to general http://www.studentblock.com/rss.xml. However, when I'm logged in, I'm able to click on the category link and be given the feed option at the bottom of each page with posts/nodes.

not shure..
but if you use taxonomy_access check the list feature
