odd.... cannot find server

Dave · Nov 26, 2003

I navigated to http://www.spanishdict.com. It loaded, however, it connected
to 127.0.0.1, and forwarded to the page cannot be displayed with the address
being "http:///". It doesn't just occur on this page, others get it too. I
don't have anything running proxy wise, so I have no idea why its trying to
connect locally. I've tried to reset all the settings, but that doesn't
work. I'm running win2k, with blackice.... I was going to try to uninstall
ie and then reinstall it, but it seems 2k won't let me.... Any suggestions?

It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

Rule out parasites that may have created that file.
