strange internet problem

Hi

I have a strange problem with an IBM T43 I just did a fresh install of XP on. It won't access certain websites eg. microsoft update, microsoft.com, avg etc.

Most other websites work fine.

I have tried a different browsers and using wired/wireless.

I can access these websites that the T43 gets a page no found on fine from my other laptop using the same internet connection.

What could be causing this?

I have tried different DNS servers.

I get the 'page not found' error in IE.

I will try NSlookup and get back to you.

I've tried 2 different fresh installs of xp pro sp3..one dodgy and one legit and the problem happened with both.

Straight after the install I installed the drivers and then tried websites like microsoft & avg and could not access them.

It's very strange!

By the time I got home my brother had decided to put Vista on which works fine.

I want XP on it so will have to do another reinstall first!
