Cannot access 2 web sites

I wonder if anyone can point me towards the problem here?

There are 2 sites that a client of mine can't access..one is his own and one
is mine.

His PC accesses the internet via another PC using Tesco Broadband. Neither
PC can get these sites.

I have disabled pop up blockers, firewall and still no joy.
Have also made sure that IE content advisor is clear.
Both sites receive and send packets via 'ping'.

My only thought now is that there is still something somewhere blocking the
sites' IP addresses as both reside on the same server, whereas other client's
sites with the same host are on different servers and can be accessed.

Can anyone see if I've missed any obvious check?

MAny thanks

Click to expand...

It would help to know the Windows version.

Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS
