Re: Can't access common website

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I tried the second suggestion first and it didn't help. Then, I tried the
first, and it didn't help either. I do not see that it created any new
hosts file after reboot - should it have done so?

Then I tried the 2nd one again. It worked but, then after I closed the
window out, it did not work the next times(s).

Any idea what is going on?

BTW, does the http:\\ matter? Usually, I just use www. Not that it helps
any, in this case...

Any other suggestions?
Thx
Dean
