I cannot connect to www.classmates.com under Windows XP
Home Edition on my desktop PC. It gives me the
typical "Server not found / DNS Error" screen. I can
connect from my laptop running Windows 2000 with no
problem. I have all of the security set to Low. I am
running Norton Internet Security if that might be an
issue. I have no problems getting to any other web sites,
just that one. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.
 
if you ping classmates.com what IP do you get back? if its not
65.243.133.81 your not going to the right place.

either your hosts file has a classmates.com entry with the wrong IP?
hosts can be found at: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc

if there is a classmates entry there, delete it and let your DNS take care
of it, if not add one. JUST NOTE that the SPACE between the IP and NAME is
a TAB

if therer is no classmates.com entry there, they are usually at the bottom,
any line that does not start with a # is a valid line, lines with # are
comments, then add one like this:
classmates.com 65.243.133.81

Please let me know if this helped and if any of it worked
