Hello, I'm haveing very wiered problem!
I'm getting "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" on some websites.
I can access all of the websites out there except very few are kida
blocked?. I know those sites are not down as I'm reciving email newsletter
from them. When trying to diagnos the problem I'm getting "www.xyz.com" is
not set up to establish a connection on port "world wide web service (HTTP)"
with this computer "
Any ideas ? My suspects are McAffe and PunkPuster

Thank you !

Vista Internet Access IssuesVista: Can't access some secure web sites ...
don't fix the problem, try to use FireFox because some web sites and coding
may not be compatible with IE 7. ...
