Unable to access certain sites (WINXP/Explorer 6.0)

[Kelly]

I cannot access certain sites anymore on my WINXP
(Explorer 6.0)machine such as
http://people.aol.com/people/index.html. I used to be
able to access but no longer. I have enabled cookies
(Internet/Options/Privacy Tab/Advanced/Override Default
Settings and "Always allow session cookies."

Additionally, I have enabled Java Scripting.

Help?? Thanks, Kelly

Check C:\Windows\Drivers\etc for a file named HOSTS with no extension. (Not
Hosts.sam)
Make sure Windows is set to show hidden files and folders and is NOT set to
hide extensions for known file types.
If HOSTS exists, rename it to HOSTS.OLD
Reboot an try again.

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
