I'm having a very strange problem where I'm not able to access some basic web sites. Namely google, gmail and hotmail. Hotmail I'm able to get to the sign in screen and then when I try to log in it tells me it cant find the server.
But I can get on to other sites like this one and yahoo.....
Then when I rebooted I couldnt get the computer to load even in safe mode. It kept saying there was a problem with the master boot record, yet I could boot into 98 (I'm running a dual boot of 98 and XP pro)
So I reinstalled XP and got back online, but still no difference.
I'm running Avast antivirus and mircrosoft antispyware and they both insist there's nothing wrong....
Any ideas?
I connect to the internet via a linksys wireless card and router from my other computer which is suffering the same problems. Neither computer is showing a virus and the only thing out of the ordinary is the inability to access certain web sites.
I already uninstalled and reinstalled the wireless PCI card but that made no difference
