Can not open certain websites

[Tom]

I am having a problem opening certian web sites such as
microsoft.com or hallmark.com but can open others. These
websites will open on my son's computer right away. Is
there a known conflict with a program or a code that
needs deleting. Could some help with a suggestion.

Sincerely
Tom

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

Can you ping the sites
At a DOS prompt execute
PING www.microsoft.com
do you get a positive response?
