A Sea Of Red

ok- after I realized the impossible was, in fact, the case here: I am looking for help.

I have 2 computers, both Dells, sitting side by side.

I am currently on my wife's Inspiron 600m, running Win XP Home- able to log in here with no issues whatsoever.

I have a Dell E510, running Win Media Center Edition (XP something) which is less than a week old- have no issues with ANY website, and no other issues AT ALL, other than it will NOT load flamefans.com.

I just assumed the site was down- but obviously it is not. Anybody have an idea as to why two computers, running side by side on the same DSL router are not performing the same?

figured it out.

I'm running McAfee, which I hate- and ONLY because it came pre-loaded and I haven't had the time to rip it out and install Norton.

Somehow, this crap program decided that the server hosting FlameFans was making unsolicited attempts to get thru my firewall- and it added the ISP to my "banned" list. Stupid computer.

Nice troubleshooting work, though.

thats why I'm a paramedic
