Dear Patrick,
The problem is probably in your Windows Hosts file, (an obsolete entry).
Delete the file, (or change it's name), or better still, get a Hosts file
manager like FastNet 99. With it you can validate all of the Hosts file
entries.
The Hosts file is functionally useful, but non-essential: it speeds up
surfing a little by providing onboard DNS translations.
FastNet 99's web page is http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Stadium/1851/
Its still free, (I think).
