Can't visit web page

[Kagsy]

Dear All,

I am confused. I am trying to visit symantec's web page on
a pc that has Norton's Internet Security. My ie (ver 6)
won't detect the page as if I have no connection. I have
broadband and since it is always on, this should not be a
problem. I have been able to visit any page other than
www.symantec.com.

Symantec are unwilling to help since the version of NIS is
2 years old. This causes problems with the software live
update because it can't find the site to update it.

Please help.

Kagsy

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

If you did not create the file, then you may have parasites, or you are
using a web accelerator program that would be causing this problem.
