Can ony reach a few websits
over the last few days i have noticed that i have not been able to reach some websites. i put this down to the websites themselves having problems. to day i checked this on another computer on the same network and found i could reach them on this computer.
i tried on my computer to clear dns cache and rebooted my system, i now can reach even less, but still able to reach some.
i dont know where to start to sort this problem out, can anyone out there help please

Run Internet Explorer with no add-ons. (Start|All Programs|Accessories|Syste
If you can reach all sites, then you must determine which add-on which is the problem. IE Tools|Manage Add-ons|Disable add-ons one by one until the problem is gone.
The Skype add-on is often the culprit.
Are you running any third party toolbars? If so, uninstall.

New information, i can get to websites by leaving off www.
eg, if i go to experts-exchange.com i get to the website, it then redirects me to https://www.experts-exchange.com and i get server not found, looking at my logs though it seems that the request isnt leaving my computer

i can reach https websites with or without the www. infront of the URL but not any http websites that start with www.
is there a file in XP that maps the www. part of a URL that may have been corrupted?
Also i cant reach subdomain websites on http,
trying to analyse this i keep thinking i have something malicious on my system using regex to match urls fitting http:// something.something.someth

it seems my dns isnt getting recognised by my rooter when the url is starting with www. so isnt getting sent, i have reset my dns server to 8.8.8.8 which is a free google service and everything is working
ASKER
@rjanowsky.. Yes tried that too, nothing there except local host info and that is correct
@ram_kerala have disabled all firewalls and AV same result, already tried other browsers including chrome, all updates applied.
@jcimarron. yes i have scanned for virus's system restore isnt an option as i havent set a restore point... has never worked for me on xp in the past anyway.. always get the message that restore isnt possible
its definatly a computer issue as all other computers at home connecting through the same network have no problems
