Can’t connect to IP addresses that start with 207

Hi

This just started in the past week. In Internet explorer I cannot connect to any sites that have an IP address starting with 207. For example http://www.microsoft.com. It finds the entry in the DNS ok and goes to connect but just sits there until it times out. All other websites come up fine. Another example is http://www.cnn.com.

I scanned for a virus and didn’t find anything. So I was thinking it had to etier be with something in the registry or something to do with something in TCPIP being corrupt.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks Much

Tom

Hi Tom:

I was having that problem a few weeks ago, but didn’t go as far as you did in trying to figure out that it was IP addresses starting with 207. I just noticed that I couldn’t get to MS.

Clearing out the history & cache helped, but only a little. However, I had to do it for both IE AND Netscape. And I do think it had something to do with the TCP/IP, but I may never know.

Doing a defrag finally solved my problem.
