I don't know if this is an isolated issue, but for some reason my webrowser will not display any link from Craigslist. I am able to view any other webpage I choose so it cannot be a connectivity issue. I initially thought it was an issue with the craigslist site, but I have seen recent threads where people are posting..so it must be up. Any thoughts?

Is it all Craigslist? Or just Toronto (or whatever local CL you are going to)?
Try this link: http://victoria.en.craigslist.ca/ers/705269780.html
If it is just your local CL, then maybe an entry was put in your Hosts file.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file
Or you might have some filtering/site-blocking software running?

Was thinking the same thing.kumamake said:i had the same problem using IE, but craigslist worked fine with FIREFOX
Why do people still use IE??????
Either Firefox or Opera are BETTER.
Haven't used IE in ages.
I cleared the Cookies and Temp files...still no luck. I understand there are those that are quite happy with Firefox...I am comfortable enough with IE and up until a couple of weeks ago...I had no issue visting Craigslist. No new Software has been added or settings changed in security. I still cannot access the site and it is the only one.
What exactly happens when u try and connect? and please give the full url u r trying to connect to.
I checked the security levels and restricted sites and nothing is there. The page I am trying to access is www.craigslist.org. There error I get is as follows:
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Check your Internet connection. Try visiting another website to make sure you are connected.
Retype the address.
Go back to the previous page.

Try this link: http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites.html
Might be a DNS problem - I get the same messages if I type in just the IP address.
Also check if you can PING the site.
Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
At the "c:\>" prompt, type ping www.craigslist.org
You should get back something like this (but with www.craigslist.org)
Mostly you want to see that you get successful replies.

I typed in the IP at the address bar and got the same issue. I tried the ping...and it said that ping was not a recognizable internal or external command. I agree that it has to be something with the DNS..so we are on to something I hope..just still not working
Shamrock,
Why not just download Firefox and give it a try.
It will only take a couple minutes and then you can tell us if FF got you into that site.
Always nice to have a spare browser.

Here try this...
If it's a DNS resolution issue, running these 2 commands from the command prompt should help:
netsh interface ip reset log.txt[enter]
ipconfig /flushdns [enter]
Restart your browser and try again.
Also, is your computer directly connected to the modem, or are you using a router? If it's the latter, might be the router blocking or not resolving DNS... powercycle it, or check for firmware updates.
