Theye is a site that I am trying to visit but I keep getting 404 errors. the
site is http://www.christiannetcast.com/
What really makes it strange are two things;

1. the site has the title "1018" . I suppose that this could be attributed
to the fact that it is a middleman for connecting to other networks. the
full url is http://www.christiannetcast.com/listen?station=kfia-am. and that
should bring a streaming audio player up. But it just gives a 404. I would
think that the problem would be with them but for the next paragraph

2. everyone else outside my lan can get there just fine. there are even a
couple pc's inside the lan that can get there ruling out a DNS or
router/firewall issue

what is wrong with the majority of pc's in my lan that could make them not
be able to reach a single site like this?
Some have XP SP2 the majority do not and are just fairly current XPpro
machines on a win2k domain.
I have checked IPs' and even typing in the IP as the same effect.... again,
unless you are somewhere else. your connection will probably work just fine.

This is really wierd. Help?
 
Hi mmac :-)

Try the following and see if it helps:

Check the Hosts file is in:
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
you need to open it with notepad.

Also try running:
ipconfig /flushdns

This might also help:

HOSTS Files:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.zip
or
http://accs-net.com/hosts/get_hosts.html


If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

I have checked the hosts
I have deleted the DNS entries from my dns server
the problems "looks" to be pop up related but there are no pop up blockers
installed.
the error is a simple 404.
