A mystery.
Punki; What kind of error are you getting? Does FT appear at all?

If www.flyertalk.com doesn't work try using this link: http://63.240.76.4 (that is the direct address to the site).

Also, try the following.

(I assume you are using Windows higher than 95)

Click START, then click the RUN option. Type CMD (or command, depending on your version). You are now in DOS, now type the following command:

ping www.flyertalk.com

It should show you "reply from.....). If you get "timeouts" or other errors then it's a network problem, or possibly an ISP problem, or something else, like a problem with a "hosts" file...

If you DO reach the website with "ping" then it's a browser problem and we can move on to trying to fix that.

Feel free to email or pm me.
