On the problem PC:

1. Check the Hosts file. Windows uses the Hosts file, not the Lmhosts
file, for web access.

2. Run "ipconfig /all" and check the DNS server addresses. It's
possible that they've been changed to undesired values.

3. Check the local area network connection's TCP/IP properties and see
if undesired DNS server addresses have been entered.

There's a rootkit infection that can hijack DNS server settings in
those and other ways. Here's a removal tool that I used successfully
to fix such an infection on a client's computer recently:

http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

Run the removal tool if the DNS server addresses have been set to
85.255.113.150 or 85.255.112.233:
