Don't know if it is the right place, but for about two months, I have not been able to navigate correctly through amazon, download.com, ebay and search.yahoo. The text shows, but no images and in some cases, images and css are blocked. I neither cannot login to webmasterworld supporters area. I've tried almost everything:
-Deleted cookies
-loosened internet security settings
-Installed xpSP2 and configured the firewall
-Installed SpyBot
-Ran AdAware (about a month ago...) I have a broadband router. I suppose that the router is not blocking these sites images. If it is possible, the how is this done? I cannot imagine how a firewall or router can block images from certain sites automatically. Thanks, Enrique

What firewall/internet security are you using?

Now, XP sp2 firewall. Prior to that, I believe that there was no firewall. But since my laptop is connected to a network, there must be a firewall on other part of the network.
Anyway, my machine is the only one affected by this problem. Just for the records, my laptop is the only one with a static IP in the network. Enrique

Find the folder C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/ Open the file HOSTS which has No Extension with notepad. There should only be one line saying: 127.0.0.1 localhost If there is anything else delete it. Some malicious code or spyware can change this file so you can't access certain sites. See if this helps
