Same problem, started about a month ago. running vista ultimate.
interestingly, this seems to not just be an explorer problem but something to
do with firewall or something - if you try PINGing the sites you are not
reaching from a command prompt, you get a similar message "ping request
could not reach server <<server name>>. Please check the name and try again.
This inidcates it isn't even attempting the ping (there's no timeout
indicated at all, and the response is instantaneous.)
It's either malware or something wierd in vista. I also have several
networked xp boxes that can see these other sites fine. I have uninstalled
norton completely and tried it and I still have problems. Have run malware
and spybot detection to no avail. Not sure what is up.
