Can't access some web pages

When I try to go to some web pages, I get this message in IE6:

Sorry
The page for this URL is not available.
Please enter another URL.

It's annoying. Is it because:
- the page is no longer available? (doubtful)
- Win XP Prof setting?
- IE6 setting? (I've tried setting Tools|Internet Option|Security to low)
- Zone Alarm (I turned ZA off but still get it)

Win XP Firewall is disabled because I use ZA.

Thanks

Probably something to do with DNS (the service provided by your ISP or
your network administrator) which translates server names to server
numbers.

Try pinging (in command prompt box) thes server names to see if you get
a response, e.g.

ping www.yahoo.com

but use the server name you are trying to get to.

Discuss results with the people who provide you with DNS (your ISP or
network administrators).
