[LINUX_Newbies] Re: can't get certain websites

 

Although it's probably not the issue, if you're using a router you might check the list of denied hosts on the router. That would produce the kind of messages you're seeing.

I have a long list of denied hosts in the HOSTS file on my personal machine, and that is exactly what I see when one of those is supposed to load--mostly advertising sites that are linked on so many websites in my case.

Since you get the same result with Windows and Linux on several machines, that's why I would check the router. How it may have happened, if that is the case, I have no idea--but it may be worth checking. Many routers have the capability of listing such denied sites.
