Hello,
I have an uncle that just purchased a new computer with Windows vista. We
setup the computer with an ISP. We are able to connect to some websites but
not to most. i keep getting an error message. To give you an example, I
entered MSN.com. I was able to read the webpage, then directed to a different
site. when i typed the web address again, the webpage would give me an error
message. Unfortunately i don't have the message i was getting. I have checked
the IP address and all internet settings, all are correct.
any suggestions on what might be causing this problem?

Thanks
