    So, yesterday, suddenly, out of the blue, I was unable to surf to vnboards.ign.com (although I could go to ign.com), and HSLan.com.

    A couple sites I go to regularly.

    Have spybot with teatimer on, it didn't say anything. Scanned it for spyware with updated spybot, nothing. Scanned with updated Ad-Aware, still didn't work. Scanned with Hijackthis, nothing running that I didn't know. Tried rebooting several times. Even downloaded Mozilla, still will not go to those two web sites, but will go to any other one.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Only thing I can think of is they're both message boards, so some kind of cookie or file that was saved from there might be the cause.

    Check your hosts file and also your restricted zones in Internet Explorer to see if those sites are blocked.

    Checked those, even added VNboards as a trusted site. Still won't connect to just those two sites.

    Just to make sure, I also pinged it, and it went through quickly.
