    I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 Laptop with XP Home. At home I use dial up and at work I use a T-1 line. For the past 3 or 4 days I cannot access some web sites at work. Other sites pop right up. At home, on dial up, I am not having this problem. Perhaps I have modified some settings.

    Any suggestions?

    Ok,you said quote --I cannot access some web sites at work. Other sites pop right up.Have you checked and run for a virus or trojan scan?

    Yes, I ran scans and deleted some spyware but everything else seemed to be OK - The problem persists.

    Thanks, Jujet84;
    I'll give it a try.

    Sqeaner, the answer is no - I use automatic configuration.

    Thanks for your help but working with a local techie I was able to correct the problem by making some changes in my server settings and updating a driver. One never know what causes some problems.
