Browsing Problem

Hello Readers.

My problem is simply that I cannot browse using IE 5.0. My PC has a
direct connection with my cable modem. I get a valid ip address from my
ISP. I can ping websites using IP addresses but not FQDN. I am running
Win98SE. Oh one more thing IE does not open website using IP addresses
either.

Thanks for your time.

Probably an aberrant HOSTS file...

For advice specific to problems with secure sites, have a look at the first
link - for general advice, have a look at the second:
