April 6, 200422 yr Author Hi Victor,This is probably something you cant fix by yourself, I'm afraid - whats happened by the sounds of it is your ISP's "address book" that resolves www.website.com to the IP address - 123.456.789.0 for example, and it can't find the entry. You may be able to workaround it manually by adding the address into LMHOSTS (XP/NT/2K) - for advice on this look here - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...8&Product=winxp - otherwise, you may want to try using another DNS entry - try a google search for DNS IP addresses, and you may be able to find them. Course, it could also be a "glitch"!!!All the best, Leonr EGLL Louise London, UK
