Forgive me if this post shows up twice but the first one seems to have gone into a black hole, possibly because it included a bmp file attachment, which I will not include this time around.

I cannot seem to access www.outback.com from my IE 6.0 (usually I get this page cannot be displayed after a long delay), though I can within the browser window within AOL, although a sub-link from there still fails within AOL, too.

Another computer connected to the same cable modem and router has no problems with this.

Any idea why?

My IE 6.0 indicates SP2.

Thanks!
Dean

Check C:\Windows\System32\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.

I tried the second suggestion first and it didn't help. Then, I tried the
first, and it didn't help either. I do not see that it created any new
hosts file after reboot - should it have done so?

Then I tried the 2nd one again. It worked but, then after I closed the
window out, it did not work the next times(s).

Any idea what is going on?

BTW, does the http:\\ matter? Usually, I just use www. Not that it helps
any, in this case...

Any other suggestions?
Thx
Dean
