Hi Mr Hawaii,

A few weeks ago I upgraded my Outlook Express to version 8. ( Or was it 9 ? )

Couldn't access anything. Couldn't get to Betfair and other popular racing sites.

Uninstalled new Outlook Express and re-loaded an old version. I think it's 6.

Everything works like a charm. Maybe you did something similar.

My ADSL is provided by TELKOM. I personally think they are the BEST.

Enjoy . . .

can you see other sites like www.bbc.co.uk (in uk) or www.amazon.com (in usa) when at the same time you cannot get into google/yahoo? I sometimes have the same problem from here in UK not being able to reach SAF sites - particularly www.iol.co.za , for no reason.
