Use IE6, able to access all websites except bbc.co.uk Have contacted the BBC and their site is working, so why cant I get there? Have put BBC site on 'trusted', so cant understand it. As the the BBC site is really brill, I miss not being able to use any of their functions, eg listen to previous progs and read all about local issues. Please help, Thanks
 
Try

tools>internet options>security tab and see if there's anything in the
"Restricted Sites" zone that's got there by accident.

If no then close that and go start>search (for files and folders) and search
for a file called "HOSTS" (there is no extension, it's called hosts).

If there is open it with notepad and see if there's any reference to the BBC
in that. If you are not confident about removing any entries (there's
samples in the file anyway) post back with what's there and someone should
be able to give more details.

It is vaguely possible that some adware / spyware or a virus has done
something, however that's a more complex issue so post back with any other
"Odd" things that you see happening.
