The problem could be caused by a bad entry in the Hosts file. To edit
the Hosts file, enter this command in the Start | Run box, making sure
to include the "." at the end of the command:

notepad C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts.

If you find a line with the name of the site that you can't access,
delete that line, save the file, and try again.

Cheer Steve,

I've checked both HOSTS files (HOSTS and IMHOSTS) none have tany line with the site I'm trying to view. The HOSTS file just has the usual '127.0.0.1 Localhosts' line in it. The IMHOSTS file is standard.

Any more ideas?
