IE5.5 points to same IP address

cruffin - Do you have an Anti Virus program. If so uncheck 1) Ad Blocking, or 2) Privacy, or 3) Seciruty. And after each uncheck return to URL. If individual unchecking does not do it, then Disable your AV and see what occurs. Your may of encountered a Browser problem as I did and your AV is Firewalling it. But Good Luck

Geez - what a goof. I'll email you the article that you obviously can't get to on the internet. Sorry!

127.0.0.1 is the IP address of the network card in your computer (in other words, the local loopback address) so I'm guessing there is a problem with your TCP/IP stack and it may need to be un-installed and re-installed.

However, before you do that, you might want to run IPCONFIG /all and see what network settings it reports. This problem could be something like a gateway address that is set to 127.0.0.1.

It makes a lot of difference whether this is a network connection or dialup so ifyou could add that information to your post, it will be easier to provide useful answers.

Also make sure that u r proxy setting does not point to 127.0.0.1 or localhost :)

That fella pmwright above gave a really good answer that bears repeating because it was just as true 9 months ago as it is now.

Something must be happening at TR's servers - I posted this question almost a year ago. Problem has been resolved - some program put a "host" file in windows pointing to that "loopback" address.
Thanks to all for responses!

try a different browser and reset your DUN settings.
