IE 6 Problem
Totally confused! My IE is unable to locate www.microsoft.com or any other
address that begins with the same. Even removing microsoft spyware has not solved the problem. Any pointers? -- ASG

Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site. Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.
