*Only a few domains are exepmt from this, major ones like eBay and google.

My problem has been an annoyance for over 3 months now, the promblem is that websites do not work properly. Take WebHostingTalk for example, if I type http://www.webhostingtalk.com, it does not work, but if I type only http://webhostingtalk.com, nothing. That is not the only problem, if http:// is not used on these sites, they do not work.
This gets extremely annoying when using links within webpages. Any help would be great.

Hi,

Depends in the browser.

Mozilla /Netscape will usually put in the http:// and the www for you.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

You can also try this:

1. Type in WebHostingTalk in IE address bar.
2. Hit shift+Enter key.

This will automatically assign the http with or without www to WebHostingTalk. Post back and let us know how this work for you.

Thanks for the hints, but I forgot to mention... Everytime I go on the internet, it is different, whether using mozilla or IE. I am pretty sure it has something to do with either the registry or a virus.
