Hi,

You don't mention your OS, but...

If running a cable modem, dsl modem or router, have you, at some point, shut
everything down for a few minutes? This sometimes helps. Have router
settings changed? Can you bypass the router?

Or, deleting the History and TIF folders may help:

Try disabling third-party security programs to see if one of them is causing
this. Have you recently installed or updated a security program?

[WinXP]
Try opening a Cmd window (or from Start> Run) enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear the Temporary Internet Files and restart.

Or make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is not hiding file
extensions for known file types then check for a HOSTS file at
[WinXP]
[C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] Open the HOSTS file with notepad. If there
are any redirect entries in it you can put the pound sign (#) in front an
entry to disable that redirect. Or you can rename the HOSTS file to (ie)
HOSTS.OLD
In Win 9x, the file will be at [C:\Windows]
In Win 2K, at [C:\WINNT\System32\Drivers\etc]
More on the HOSTS file at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm and
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/

See if there's anything else to try at

Lastly... the problem might be with your ISP. It wouldn't hurt to contact
them.

Hope this helps,

All of a sudden, I cannot load a particular website into any browser on
either of my computers. I'm on a home network. I can get to any other
site,
just not the one I need! It's crucial that I fix this problem! I've tried
everything please help me!
Forever grateful,
Andrea
