    go to start -> run (or hit the windows key which has the flag on it and r at the same time if it's not xp) put in this in the run box:

    c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

    hit ok

    a window should open and it'll probably have 5 files
    one will just be called hosts
    double click on it
    when windows asks what program to open it with chose notepad

    copy and paste what it says

    Yesterday morning I could get onto ebay. After work I couldn't. Even this morning I couldn't. Every other site on the internet works, just not ebay.

    Any suggestions or is it time to buy a new computer?

    Please help
    Ian

    It's doing you a favor...

    Thanks Bauldie, but it's still a no go on the ebay thing.

    I wonder how many Staal's I have missed in the past day and a half?

    That host file entry shouldn't have been there which is why I mentioned a virus issue. It's a common thing viruses do to affect your browsing/redirect you. While you may not have an active virus running, it's possible there are pieces of one left behind that are causing small issues. That's basically my job and I see it all the time.

    One thing I didn't mention in my last pm was a firewall/antivirus causing the issue as well.

    I assume turning off the firewall is a bad idea, lol.

    Won't hurt anything for a little bit to test.. that stuff gets so overblown. As long as your computer is up to date with windows updates you'd be fine.

    Get an OS that offers open system.

    Windows based Operating Systems are garbage.
