Isn't one of the PC's that I administrate. Just one customer and I have had difficult dealings with him in the past. He thinks everyone is out to get him and I am giving his information away to the top bidder. If I get a free hour or two I will give him a call and let him know his PC is screwed and he should put fdisk on a bootable floppy and then reformat the 0 partition of his PC.

Are all of your clients unable to access the site? Then you are obviously looking at a higher level issue with name resolution and you need to check out your internal dns servers. Launch an nslookup and see what ip it responds to for that server. Then change the server in nslookup to 4.2.2.1 and try again. If only one user is having the issue can you walk them through checking for entries in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. If you wanted to script the checking of that hosts file for entries, you certainly could, but is it worth it for one user? Will it solve a malware issue that added invalid entries into a host file? Unfortunately I don't think there is a fix all script out there that magically detects the issue and resolves the problem, if there was, we all would be doing something else. -troy -----Original Message----- From: David McSpadden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 9:58 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Odd Redirects Maybe. I have 35k+ customers. I am looking for something scripted for the front line Service Reps to give them. And you PC has been jacked isn't one of the things my customers like to hear... :-) -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 1:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Odd Redirects A walk-through? -- ME2 On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 12:48 PM, David McSpadden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How do I explain that to joe user? > > > > ________________________________ > > From: Sean Rector [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 12:40 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Odd Redirects > > > > Check 4 hosts file?
