for some unknown reason (at least to me!) i can no longer access several sites with ie6.

for example - i just get "web site found. waiting for reply" with google and yahoo, but can see the bbc site.
similarly I can see this site but not the forums!

it's not a connection problem as everything is normal using firefox.

i did do a windows update last night - and seem to remember 2 new critical updates being installed - not sure if this caused the problem?

all suggestions gratefully received.

cheers
Martin
