oh my, now what?

Hi all. I don't even know which group to post this. I have winxp with sp2. I
can't connect to microsoft sites (updates, hotmail, etc. ) Most sites load
great with my cable internet. I formatted my drive and started fresh with a
new xp install, with no change. I thought it might have been IE7, so I tried
IE6. No change there, either. If anyone has suggestions, or which group to
ask for help, I welcome replies. My big hang up is that my flight sim 9
suddenly quits (just disappears). Thanks.

It's just possible that your ISP is inadvertently blocking the Microsoft
sites. We had this problem at my employer a couple of months ago - couldn't
reach either Microsoft or Yahoo! sites. Our facetious first guess was that
it was a Google plot.

Have you checked for errors in your event logs?

"Fair use is not merely a nice concept--it is a federal law based on
free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the
creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
rights in the digital age are not frivolous."
