Hi,
Easy steps first...
A complete shutdown for about 5 minutes- computer(s), modem, router-
everything.

Delete the Temporary Internet Files folder and the History folder. See:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

If using Windows XP...
Open a Cmd window (or from Start> Run) enter
ipconfig /flushdns
Then restart.

If using XP SP2...
Log on as an administrator.
>From Start> Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh Winsock reset

If using XP (not SP2) try this winsock repair tool:
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm

You may have a malware problem. Try CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot and the
other programs listed and
explained at http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security
tips on that page.
