I am using WinXP Home and IE6 along with a Netgear
wireless router.

I try to connect classmates.com and get the web site not
available page. However, I can get it from another
computer on the same network. it's weird, but I can't
figure out what to change. I've set no cookies and the
security to off basically. I've turned off my firewall
(Zone Alarm Pro)and basically, nothing seems to work.

Ideas?

Click to expand...

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

The question should be if it is there then how did it get there?
 
Thanks Kenny. Your answer was the same as another that I
found earlier and I posted a message with the same
suggestion this board. Your expertise is greatly
appreciated.
