If you are running on Windows 2000/XP/2k3 you can check this.

Copy the following into the run command
Windows 2k

code:

---

notepad c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

---

Windows XP/2k3

code:

---

notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

---

The last line you should see should be 127.0.0.1 localhost.

If it isn't I suggest removing everything else unless you are on an internal network that uses a proxy to access specific websites.
