I can't access certain websites (MSN, Facebook, BBC, my bank)

Just bought a Dell Studio laptop with McAfee trial installed automatically - Internet won't load certain websites (MSN, BBC, my bank) and I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I've tried IE, firefox & Google Chrome - same problem with them all.  I've unistalled mcAfee and tried AVG 8.0 which made it worse so gone back to McAfee.
Windows firewall is OFF, broadband firewall is OFF, I've turned McAfee firewall OFF and still the problem.  It's soooo frustrating.......

Re: I can't access certain websites

Hi there,
If you go into Internet Options (or the Vista equivalent) and then go to the network tab, then LAN settings, does it show any proxy's being used?  If so, can you try removing them?
Also, do you know if you have tried changing the MTU or rWin settings at all?

No proxy showing in internet options.
Sorry to be thick but I don't know what you mean by MTU or rWIN???

That probably means that you haven't changed it Smiley
Did you try rebooting your router once you had disabled your firewall and antivirus software?
