unable to access nbc.com

02-26-2008

I have found over the past few days, via 'Yahoo answers' that more and
more people are unable to access NBC.com. It also appears to be just
affecting IE.

I have ensured my OneCare anti-virus is up to date, downloaded
installed and updated ad-aware, flushed dns, tried different dns
servers, cleared all third party addons, tried IE in safe mode (or no
addons mode), checked host file, ran system restore..

Going to the IP address for nbc.com (64.210.192.67) comes up with a
page that simply says "It works!"

Adding nbc.com to trusted sites makes browser cycle through a site via
nbc.starcut.us before 'page can't be displayed'. Starcut.us
(214.39.58.204) goes to an Apache test page.

Firefox works fine.. will edit later if I come up with anything else

Any clues?

I can't access it either. I've seen in other forums that we aren't the only ones having problems. My XP system is fine. Firefox on Vista is fine. IE on Vista is not. I've done the obvious (checking cookies, checking security settings, verifying I'm virus free). I saw in another forum that people with a tablet PC are having problems like this so I thought if I uninstalled the tablet components (which include the snip tool), it might work. No joy there. No idea what the problem is but it's definitely Vista and IE together.
