I have been having the same problem accessing Facebook on my daughter's PC using both IE and Chrome. I found a workaround (bandaid) that works for both in my case. If I type "www.www.facebook.com I can access the login page. I do not have a login to Facebook so I was unable to go any further. I have tried the other suggestions(host file, uncheck proxy server, etc.) but so far- no luck. Whatever is blocking the connection is hidden very well but I will keep plugging away until I find it. Good luck!

Problem solved in my case. I installed Microsoft Security Essentials(free) after uninstalling AVG and run it. I had Hosts File Hijacker. Security Essentials made light work of it and Facebook works like a charm now.
