Hi Everyone,
My computer will not access some web sites. I have had this issue for some time.
I am able to access them from the other computer on my network.
I am able to access them from other computers.
Is there some setting in Windows that be causing this?
Your help would be appreciated.

I find ADMUNCHER prevents me from accessing a lot of sites,for some strange reason.

Are you running ADMUNCHER.?

Have you verified the unreachable sites are not in your HOSTS file or that your HOSTS file is not corrupt?

Hey Animal,
You were right on Buddy.
The problem was with my HOSTS File.
It was corrupt.
Also Thanks for that HOSTSMAN Utility you suggested.
You have put a smile on my face.

Once again, THANKS.
