    Suddenly blocked from opening www.youtube.com
    « on: May 03, 2008, 06:33:10 AM »
    I visit youtube every day to watch music and political videos.  I have never had a problem.  Just a few moments ago I was looking at some hearings from the House where someone was grilling Rumsfeld on the controversial military contractor Dynacorp's.  Off to the right side of the video I was watching was a view of related videos.  I clicked on a short one (under a minute) tagged something about Dynacorp's K9 dogs in Iraq.

    I suddenly received a message with a yellow triangle: Firefox can't find the server at www.youtube.com.I opened IE and got the following message: Sorry, we couldn't find http://www.youtube.com/

    Can anyone help me with this one? I have an e-machine with XP home.
    NortonIS2008 and Spyblaster are installed. I shut down and restarted but still get the same messages.

    Thanks,
    Mark  ???

    Does your Norton package include a firewall ? ?
    If so check to see if the site is being blocked.....

    Perhaps Rumsfeld does not want you snooping around for hidden secrets.
