401 The web site is blocked by administrator

[Guest]

When I access certain web sites that I do want to see. Can someone please
help me out to figure out this problem. This is my home PC running XP home
edition. I have full access to my computer. I called Charter people
(ISP)..they said that they have not blocked any thing at their end. This may
be IE or XP issue. Thanks, AK

Hi ak

Try the following and see if it helps:

Problems accessing secure sites or cannot install 128 bit encryption

or..

Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS

Hope this helps
