I am unable to access www.equifax.com using my Vista Ultimate SP1 system.
Both IE7 and Firefox are unable to connect. I am running Norton Internet Security 2008. No other sites I have tried to access are blocked. I have checked for restricted sites in IE settings and have disabled all NIS protection. Parental controls are not turned on. I am able to access the site using two other systems on my network that are running XP SP2 with NIS 2008. Any ideas what is blocking this site?

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc IE uses it, but I'm not sure if Firefox does. It can be used to return the loopback address for certain lookups, maybe equifax is in there with 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. If it is, remove it (you may have to scroll down to see all entries in this file). Are there any proxy servers involved? Some web filter may be inserted between your browser and the ISP (as a proxy) and be malfunctioning or misconfigured.

Oh, and in addition to my other post in this thread, you
may want to confirm that your DNS server setting is set for the correct server. Bad guys have been known to change this to one they control the data of - just like the hosts file, they provide a wrong number in return for a lookup and then can "spoof" the site you intended to reach at this new fraudulent IP address. Not too helpful I'm afraid, but you asked for ideas. "Rich" wrote in message ... I am unable to access www.equifax.com using my Vista Ultimate SP1 system. Both IE7 and Firefox are unable to connect.

And before Paul Montgomery replies to this response with the same "So can the OP using two other computers on the network. He wants to know why HIS computer can't.", yes, I know. But the implication from the OP is that it may be somehow related to Vista SP1, so this post is only intended to indicate that it doesn't appear to be Vista SP1's fault. Regards, (a different) Dave
