chaobellHave a machine in here that's 99% done. Original complaint: ungodly slow. Ad-Aware turned up lots of crap. Norton turned up nothing.
Removed crap, computer was happy once more. Tested Earthlink connection. Fine and dandy...until I tried to pull up att.net, where the dude gets his e-mail, and got the dreaded THIS PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED error.
Tried Google. Tried MSN.com. Tried Yahoo. Tried fifteen million other websites. All of them came up fine. ATT.COM came up fine. Even weirder, download.att.net came up fine.
But wait! There's more!
Hung up Earthlink, dialed up with my IO account. Same thing. Every website in the entire world except att.net comes up.
Hung up IO, tried our DSL. SAME DAMN THING.
Frisking Google and the various knowledge bases has turned up jacksquat. I've checked to see if the connections are trying to go through some oddball proxy. I see nothing. There were remnants of Xupiter, HuntBar, and some other connection-molesting crap in there, but I've never seen them screw with just one website before. I have one nerve and one non-white hair left, and they're both about to go. Plz help kthxbye.
[Update: "ipconfig /flushdns" saved my ass. WHEW.]
[Update #2: ...no it didn't. Running XP Home SP1, IE6, customer does not want Netscape. Connecting via AT&T dialup will let me pull up att.net's main page, but still can't get to the webmail--same "page cannot be found" error. Will try some of the other suggestions here. SONOFABITCH.]
