Can you ping the sites the browser won't go to, on the command line?
Like this:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping www.boards.ie

What does TaskManager say about your CPU usage?

Are you up-to-date with virus protection ?

What browsers are you using and do you have any "toolbars" loaded in them.

I find toolbars to be a waste of time which slow the machine down. I had one computer last week with 4 toolbars loaded in IE which was all but unusable.

Cant figure out that pinging thing!

I sue IE, Firefore and Opera. i have most of the toolbars disabled

I'm talking about things like Google Toolbar (not that it's a bad offender). I would recommend uninstalling them.

You could also download Google Chrome as another browser to try.

Those sites work for me so there is probably something wrong with your PC.
