To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup.  Thank you.

Note that I asked whatwebsitesyou *can*access, not which ones you
cannotaccess.  Are you only having problems accessing pages on the
company network (intranet)?

I met with a weird problem.
When I type a web site's url on Internet Explorer, like
http://www.somesite.com
It immediately returns host not found error.

Actuallly everything else works fine:
I canaccessother web sites.
Dnslookup command returns correct IP for that site.
I can ping that web site too.
I can use "Telnetwww.somesite.com80" and get contents from that site.
I can even use "https://www.somesite.com"; toaccessthat site.
The server of the site is on my company, and the http and https serves
the
same content. But I have no idea whyhttp://www.somesite.comdoes not
work.
I checked up the hosts file in System32/drivers/etc, no record about
that
site
is in the file.
I turned off all firewalls, the site was still inaccessable.
Other people in the same workgroup can acess that site.
I can use FireFox toaccessthat site, but with Internet Explorer I
can't,
neither
can Iaccessit with Maxthon, Avant Browser, and other IE based
browsers.
I used TCPView to monitor the TCP actions, and found that NO requests
was made when I attempt toaccessthat site from IE.

It seems that the site has been blocked somewhere but I don't know
where.
Is there anyway out except reinstalling Windows???

Hi, could you please give me some instructions on how to fix this
problem on my PC since I don't have a clue
how to go about getting to and adjusting these settings? I can no
longer access Amazon.com and I'm assuming - and hoping -
that it's the same problem since I have tried every other fix I can
think of without success. Thanks a lot.
