Search for www.msgplus.net in the Hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, open with NotePad) and remove that from there (if inthere at all).

Please try whats called a Trace Route, It will better help us identify the problem

Go to the start menu
Select "Run Program..."
If running Windows 98/ME
In the dialog box type: command
If running Windows 2000/XP
In the dialog box type: cmd

A black window will pop up.
Type "tracert www.msgplus.net" without the quotations

Once that has finished, Right click and select "Mark"

Now click and drag to select the text that was output by the trace route program.

Right click again to copy the text to the clipboard.

Please paste that here for us to trouble shoot with.


The more information you can provide us with the better (OS?, Firewall?, ISP?, Browser?)

We dont need 4 people telling someone having trouble to check there hosts file espically after they said they dont have one. Hence, Lots of useless spam, One message will do.
