IE7 SITE NOT FOUND

[Guest]

I posted this before and now cannot find it, so think it must not have
registered. The last two days have been a mare for me. Suddenly with no
reason, IE has stopped loading at least one of the sites in my favourites
that I need to access for business reasons each day. I have contacted the
owners who say they have no issues at the moment, but each time I try to load
it says site not found, as if it didn't exist. I've deleted cookies, history
etc and keep trying, to get the same message. Can you help? Thanks

Check C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc for a file named HOSTS with no
extension. (Not Hosts.sam)
Make sure Windows is set to show hidden files and folders and is NOT set to
hide extensions for known file types.
If HOSTS exists, rename it to HOSTS.OLD
Reboot an try again.

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
