John,
Rename the file named "HOSTS" (without a file extension). This tip is =
from MVP Mike Burgess. The HOSTS file will be present in the following =
location:
Windows XP=3DC:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows 2K=3DC:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Win 98\ME=3DC:\WINDOWS
Just rename the HOSTS file to OLDHOSTS and try the remaining part of the =
advice.
