Re: Internet Explorer (port 80) connect problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Guys, I am trying. How do I get to the "command window"? Do I then type:*
netstat -anobv >netstat.txt notepad netstat.txt * Is this typed all as
one line or is the *notepad netstat.txt* on a second line? What next?
Enter or ?

I tried http://207.46.225.60/ and http://www.microsoft.com/ - neither go
to the a web site - I get
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site
might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your
browser settings.

for both. In the lower left of the screen - the correct URL is displayed
for a fraction of a second -- then DONE and the above appears.

Re the HOST file -- I am familiar with this -- and it has no entries in it.
(just 127.0.0.1 local host)

Thanks for you time and patients with me,
