sorry, I don't know where else to ask...
I can't get to some websites.. the browser just hangs for a long time..
sites like nytimes.com, drudgereport.co m/ cnn.com, many more, this is
very strange, I can get to some sites fine, but on some others the
browser (both browsers) just hangs for ever and I don't get there.. my
internet provider is Comcast, should I call them about this? it's very
puzzling.. there are a few sites I need to get to right away for some
work I have to do.. this is very frustrating, to say the least..
thank you...

1. Run antivirus
2. Check for spyware
3. Check your hosts file. The problem is probably actually in the hosts
file, but check the others first because a virus or worm could redo the
hosts change you make, and spyware could do the same.

all show "active", and "protected" ...) don't know what hosts file is..
(other problem I forgot to mention: on my POP email acct, I can only

Your hosts file defines how your computer resolves the domain to an IP
address.
In normal english: If you type www.google.com your computer first looks
in the hosts file to see if it can find something like: www.google.com 64.233.187.99
If you computer cannot find it in the hosts file it will use its DNS
server (probably some computer at your current ISP).
It can be found here:
C:\WINDOWS\syst em32\drivers\et c\hosts
Unless YOU changed it for some reason, it should only contains this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
(all the lines that start with # are comments)
About your email: I have no clue. Are you sure you told Thunderbird the
right servers for SMTP and popping? Maybe it demands authentication?
Regards,
Erwin Moller

For Thunderbird support, visit the
<news://news.mozilla.or g:119/mozilla.support .thunderbirdnew sgroup.
If your browser is Firefox, visit the
<news://news.mozilla.or g:119/mozilla.support .firefoxnewsgro up for
support. If it's SeaMonkey, visit the
<news://news.mozilla.or g:119/mozilla.support .seamonkeynewsg roup.
Note that all of these are on the news.mozilla.or g NNTP server, not on a
commercial, public server. You will have to configure an account for
news.mozilla.or g and then add the desired newsgroups.

I am trying to create a Java application that reads a list of URLs
from a file and stores their contents on the local file system. I
have succeeded in accessing normal websites, but I am unable to access
the secured websites (using the HTTPS protocol) using this approach.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could suggest a way out. I have
looked at the HttpsURLConnection class, but unfortunately this class
is abstract.

ASP is enabled and allowed yet for this one website we host you can't access
the asp pages on it. Instead you get a 404 not found error.
Anyone have any ideas on this? I found stuff on other newsgroups and
searching the web but nothing that fixes it.
There are other websites on this server that have asp pages and they are
working just fine.

I'm posting and reading these forums through www.AccessMonster.com, but from other people's posts, I get the impression that many (if not most) other people seem to be accessing the same data through a newsgroup - a lot of the mistakenly categorised posts seem to be coming from there too. I'm not very familiar with how newsgroups work - would I be better off connecting to this forum through there, and if so, how do I get started?
