When I attempt to access a certain web site, I get "The
page cannot be displayed" error message. I have been
using this site for years now and this problem just
started about 3 days ago. This is the only site that I
can't access. I've talked to the sites tech support, my
ISP and tech support from my computer manufacturer. No
luck. Anybody ever seen this before?
 
Hi, have you recently applied the latest Windows/IE6
security patch? These seem to be causing this type of
error.

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
 
I have tried this and it still will not load on my computer

http://www.pocketforce.com. I have verified that this site is up
through IMing people that use the site and through a computer at
work. I have IE6 SP1 installed 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422.1633

The site works for me.
If you're using WinXP do this:
In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
