did it give you an IP address for them?

If so what is it?

If not

Start > run > cmd > nslookup > www.mansion.com

that will do a dns lookup and see what IP address you are being given for mansion...

I get 85.159.120.30 as does an external source.

So it sounds like you're getting a bad DNS result - are you using any odd server settings or proxies?

Have you checked your hosts file?

everything fine, no proxies.
Every other sites work fine, i have disabled everything i can think of, security levels are all now lowest, FF is the same, just an error.

I have been running scans for virus, malware etc since last night, an online scanner picked up 2 viruses but my leccy went off before it completed it's scan doh!
Anyway a scan this morning with my installed avast foung KUANG2 trojan virus which apparently is port related so may be a solution.
Currently running AVG scan to find the mystery othe virus (i remember when virus scans took about 10 mins, with computers having so much capacity these days they now take a few hours!!!).

I have 2 AV programs installed yet neither picked up on the virus(es) when they got in!!
Byron said the same last night, after he found 3 viruses!!!
