Hi, I keep getting one of the following when trying to access a website:
either "website not found please try again later" or, it acts like i did a
search for the site instead of going to the site, when i click on a result of
the "search" i keep getting either redirected or the message from
above...............any ideas?

Windows version? IE version? Is the machine fully patched at Windows
Update?

That can be a symptom of a problem with your DNS lookup.
Also, if you aren't entering a protocol prefix and you have
search from the Address bar enabled that could explain the end
result.

Post an example site if you need more hints or search this newsgroup
for other posts where I have given more detailed answers to the same
question.


Good luck
