Re: Can't get to one website

Hi Rick "Nutcase",

That worked like a charm !!!!!

I didn't think it was going to because when I did what you said
I got this message "'ipigconfig' is not recognized as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch file"

I closed the command prompt and tried the site anyway and it worked !!!

A little panic set in then, when I couldn't seem to get to ANY websites
except my homepage.
I rebooted the system and now everything if fine.

My wife thanks you and I thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving, .... Fred
