    I had a problem with the site www.ibest.com.br, for a few months the site did not appear at all in IE, or any other browser. Even with SP2 installed. Now, since last 19/09, I am not able to access www.orkut.com and www.pop.com.br, all I get is the bellow. But the Ibest site, is working fine now, I have tried everything in the help page, but nothing worked.

    I’ve tried a different approached this weekend, I turn off all security in my PC, win firewall, mcafee internet security and firewall and AVG. Then I try the URL that I was having trouble, and there they were, I had access to them (Orkut and POP), so I started to turn back on, one by one, to see which one would give trouble again, and find out it was the Mcafee firewall. I still don’t know why it was blocking the url, but, after I look everywhere in its settings, and did not find any indication of the sites in it, I decide to get the IPs from the sites by ping, and include them in the Advanced task, Block IP addresses, and them unlocking the IPs. Well, it worked, although I think it is stupid to have to do that, since it was working fine before, but why argue now, it is working. So, thanks to all the help given.
