I am using SBC DSL and am running a network of three
pc's. The pc that is hooked into the DSL is Windows XP
and the other 2 pc's hooked into the router is an xp and
a Win 2000. The 1st PC can view www.sears.com, but the
other two cannot. If you punch in that website, it just
keeps looading with nothing coming up. Other web pages
load up fine. Any ideas please?
 
I had this same problem,

to fix it I created a new identity and switched to it

Then I had to move over all of my settings and email
accounts, then deleted the old identity

This is the only way I could resolve it, I posted three
times on this board for help but nobody was able to help
otherwise :(

Have Fun!

What do you mean by create a new identity?

On the problem computers 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
