Certain websites never open
I have a problem whereby my new windows 7 machine can connect to the internet, but will not open certain webpages.
So for example I can get to Google (or this forum), but when I try Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable | Mozilla Europe the browser seems to connect but the page never displays - the browser just says it's transferring data (in ffox 3.5).
I get the same result in IE or Firefox, and the same problem with different Windows 7 laptops - in fact I just sent back a dell inspiron because I thought the fault was with the machine, just got an acer aspire and got exactly the same problem.
I have an old dell running xp and that has no problems whatsover using the same network.
I have tried connecting directly to the router rather than over wireless and that makes no difference either.
I've tried disabling windows firewall and that doesn't seem to have helped.
There are no errors or messages.
Help!
