Problem with browser(s) find a website

Hi Folks.

 

I've wrestled with this one for a while with no luck and wondered if anyone
else had seen this behavior. We have multiple PC's at home and we have one
that is exhibiting this behavior. You fire up Mozilla or Internet Explorer
and try to go to a website, and it doesn't matter which one, you will get
the "site not found" message. You can press Enter to get it to go away and
click on Go multiple times in rabid succession and eventually it will find
it - most of the time. Sometimes it will flat out not find it when the site
is FINE one of the other PC's. I've found in Mozilla, if you right click and
tell it to open a link in a new tab, that will work - most of the time.

 

These PC's are Windows 2000 Pro, fully patched, antivirus software loaded
and up to date, Kerio firewall, AdAware, Spybot Search and Destroy,
Spyblaster, etc. and connect to the Internet via DSL.

 

And I am USUALLY pretty good at find stuff via Google, but keying in any of
the words that pertain to this, or the exact message (which I paraphrased in
the above) gets you a massive amount of irrelevant hits.

 

Thanks !
