Dan,
Check your dns #'s with your isp, has to be something in the connect
between isp, and (browser?). Sounds very strange. I had this kind of
problem when I was using an old set of dns #'s after my isp had changed
his, and I had neglected to heed the warning. (or he forgot to send out
warnings).
Anyway, hope this helps,
Paul
