Hmmm... DNS errors.

Did you recently uninstall any spyware, malware programs? If so it could of corrupted winsock settings with invalid or deleted entries in the registry.

Download and run WinsockXPFix. Hopefully that should take care of your page loading problems.

Try pinging the web page from a command prompt:

Start>Run>cmd>hit enter

then put in:
"ping www.i-club.com" minus the quotes

then look at the packetloss. If its at 100% then you need to call whatever your internet company is.

do this and post the results

1) start ---> run ----> cmd
2) tracert i-club.com

cut and paste the results. let us know if it says that it is unable to resolve the address

if it does, try going to the ip for the site instead

the majority of spyware is geared towards microsoft ie. my laptop was screwy a while back and there were some sites that i just could not get to with ie. i downloaded firefox and it was much better until i could get the drive formatted and everything was back to normal.

This is true about spyware but performing a trace route from the Windows command prompt does not utilize a browser. If a connection cannot be made in this manner, the problem lies elsewhere.
