I have a strange issue with my PC.

I can't access certain websites and I can't access certain
web services.
For example, I can't view the AOL website and I CAN NOT
use AOL Instant Messenger. Strangely enough, however, I
can use MSN and Yahoo Messenger.
I cannot access certain other websites, and occaisionally
I have trouble accessing Google. Google seems to be the
only one that varies.
About 80% of all other sites work without problems, but
since it affects my messenger programs, it's not just
websites. Does anyone have any idea what's happening here?
