Gurus,

I have been having this issue for quite some time now. I am unable to load some websites in either IE or FireFox. I have two systems one with Windows XP and the other with Windows Vista. The problem is identical on both machines. What is even more surprising is the fact that I had completely formatted the C drive on my windows vista machine, reinstalled the OS and I still have the same issue. I also have a windows XP machine from my office. From my home network, I am able to connect to all these sites using my office machine without any problems.

I have the following installed on my box:

1. AVG AntiVirus software
2. SpywareBlaster
3. Spyware Guard
4. AdAware
5. McAfee Site Advisor.

Some of the sites that I am having difficulty in loading:

1. www.msn.com
2. www.microsoft.com
3. www.citicards.com (www.citibank.com works but unable to get to citicards)
4. www.delta.com

Any help will be most appreciated. I am posting my HJT logs along with this post.

Thanks,
Navin

Sorry,

I should be more explicit. I'm not trying to load www-files.opendns.com per se, rather trying to load www.opendns.com

However, opendns.com loads a bunch of content that is hosted at www-files.opendns.com. When I try to load opendns.com I just get a mangled mash of text, with no formatting, no images, and it takes forever to load. When checking the source code for the page, it shows that it loads a bunch of content from www-files.opendns.com

When I try to access any of the content directly eg http://www-files.opendns.com/img/home_free.gif it times out... I can't ping www-files.opendns.com nor telnet to it on port 80, hence leading me to believe that my problem is with www-files.opendns.com.

Does that clarify a bit?
