I have been trying to connect to bluemountain.com website and when I click on
it in IE, it doesn't do anything. It works on other people's computers but
not on mine. I checked with my firewall and tried to add it under
"exceptions" but when I type the website address it, it says it cannot find
it. I do not know what else to do. Any suggestions? Thanks!

does other websites work?

Try the following to isolate the prob:

1. Use Firefox
2. IPconfig /flushdns
3. Check your LAN settings.

Check C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc for a file named HOSTS with no
extension. (Not Hosts.sam)
Make sure Windows is set to show hidden files and folders and is NOT set to
hide extensions for known file types.
If HOSTS exists, rename it to HOSTS.OLD
Reboot an try again.

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
