 Posted: 12/28/03 - 23:30 Post subject: Computer question
I can't get to Kodak.com on my FIL's laptop computer. All other web sites load just fine. I ran a complete Norton virus scan (after updating virus definitions) and also did a complete scan with Ad Aware for Trojan Horses/spiders/etc. You can get onto Kodak.com if you use his dial-up modem/account, but not with the wireless network & PC Card. He runs Win 98 on an older laptop, but what could cause this problem? It's really weird and I've never seen anything like this before.
thanks in advance.

Bellsouth.net is DSL (wireless network) & PeoplePC is dialup account (modem). I can access Kodak.com on a 2nd computer at my parent's house (on the DSL line), so it shouldn't be a DNS problem

Stupid question: could it be a firewall problem? Sometimes there are a few websites that can't make it through our firewall.

I don't think so. I can access Kodak.com on a second computer on this same DSL line which goes thru the same Linksys Router.

Have you got more than one browser installed on that computer? If so, try accessing the kodak site with both browsers and see if they're both blocking it. That may help narrow it down.

Downloaded Netscape 7.1 and the site still didn't load.
I tried to run "ping" or "tracert" from a DOS prompt (on this Win 98 laptop) and it couldn't run those programs under DOS.
Any other suggestions?

) and a good DNS record will replace the bad one.
