Win ME system suddenly cannot connect to some sites/pages with either IE 5.5 SP2 or Netscape 7.1. All other computers on the same office LAN can access these problem locations, so its not the locations or a router/ISP problem.
For example, this machine cannot connect to In Netscape it comes back with a "The operation timed out when attempting to connect..." error. In IE, it comes back with a "We cannot find page from search.msn.com, and the offer to find the similar site " (which does not work either.)
Also, this system can navigate everywhere within ebay.com, except specific item pages. All the general pages and searches work fine but clicking on any specific item title, brings up the following errors:
IE - "This page cannot be displayed..." (Cannot find server or DNS error)
Netscape - Msgbox: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact cgi.ebay.com"
This system runs the latest Norton AV and the latest Ad-Aware and Spybot, all just rescanned so there are no known viruses or browser hijackers in place.
The DNS entries are the same as the other working systems. I've cleared the caches and I've run out of ideas. <g>
Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA.
