What kind of network connection do you have? Did you change any settings? Have you rebooted your computer and/or flushed DNS?

You could ask your ISP for help, or change your Dial-up connection phone number.

I think Chuck 2 said it best. It is probably that phone number. They may have changed it or taken that number out of circulation. I know in Cleveland SBS had changed their numbers a lot.

did you remove any spyware before this problem started? If so, you may want to try winsockfix: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4... See if that gets you going.

I haven't needed to use the winsockfix for ages, but still keep it in my toolbox. Download and run this simple, non-destructive tool and it might just solve your problem. If not, you can still keep it as part of your arsenal of PC tools.
