Impossible to access certain websites

The problem of access can come from the presence of a firewall. If a firewall is installed, check its configuration settings.

Possibly try to locate the hosts file under c: \ windows and check its contents. Depending on the version of Windows: 

C:\WINXP\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 
C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 
C:\WINDOWS\hosts


You cas open the file with Wordpad.

Normally it contains only lines beginning with #, except: 
127.0.0.1 localhost



If other lines appear, they can prevent the connection to the sites because they are forcing an IP address for guests involved!
