I have two pc's hooked up to a linksys router and then to HSD connection.
All works fine except a few websites I can not get to on one pc, but the
other one I can with no problems. I have done a dns flush and still does not
work. I have not websites in restricted sites either. It worked about two
weeks ago and not does not.

Ideas??

Please help.

Thanks :)
 
Search your system partition for a file named Hosts - it has no extension.
The hosts file is used to map (i.e., associate) a specific IP address to a
URL. Ordinarily you would have no use for the Hosts file, since URLs are
mapped to IP addresses automatically by your ISP. However, certain filtering
software -- and some malware -- purposely place entries into your Hosts
file.

Once you've located your Hosts file, open it in Notepad. You'll see a more
detailed explanation of what the Hosts file does. This should be the last
line in yours Hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

If you see any additional entries, then you, or someone with access to your
computer, or some filtering software installed placed those entries there.
See if one of the URLs you can't reach is listed there.
