i read the 'sticky' about the host file redirection. i checked my file and actually updated with entries for some unwanted sites. btaim, i am having no luck reaching the main site of the download site.
keep getting 'page cannot be displayed' error as if IE isnt making the trip.
also when i try to ping www.msgplus.net (64.62.180.100) or download.msgplus.net (64.62.180.101) all i get are timeouts.
i pinged somthing else which resolved/worked ok.
tracert seems to get to 64.62.249.121 and then stalls out.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
jim
