problems accessing some web sites

J

jack Rose

Recently I have begun having a problem accessing certain
web sites on this computer only. I am using 6.0 with
XP. First I noticed this with www.mlb.com, then with all
sites affiliated with mlb, then with Amazon.com and
more. I cannot find a reason for this. Can anyone help?

Click to expand...

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.
