Look in C|Windows for a file named hosts (with no extension, not
hosts.sam). If found re-name to hosts.bak. This happens frequently when
using so-called "browser accelerators" when using Netscape. if you have
any browser accelerators, adds-off programs or the like, I would give
some serious though to disabling them. I don't know about IE.
