It's not a problem w/WIN2000. I'm using a new
install of the 2000 PRO ver. myself. The tech.glitch
is w/IE6 and websites that need to be tweaked for
the new ver. of IE6. Basically, we it's a compatability
thing. You need to tell those website that its nolonger
working w/IE6. If have the IE5, try to view those webpages
that aren't displaying. You will see that those webpages
load-up w/out any problems w/IE5.

Check C:\Windows\Drivers\etc for a file named HOSTS with no extension. (Not
Hosts.sam)
Make sure Windows is set to show hidden files and folders and is NOT set to
hide extensions for known file types.
If HOSTS exists, rename it to HOSTS.OLD
Reboot an try again.

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
