Opening Certain Sites?

[David]

Ok, pretty much all the websites work on my computer.

I play outwar and Yes I keep my computer clean from
spyware, viruses, etc. with firewalls and whatnot. The
thing is I can't access http://www.outwar.com from my
computer without getting some kind of Cannot find Server
error. I'm on a home network but when I use the other
computer in the other room, the site works.

If I can't fix it i'll have to use the other computer to
play it but its a really low-end system and not worth the
wait. If somone knows why it does this and how to fix it,
i'd appreciate it if you let me in on it.

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
