    Who is your ISP?

    What error do you get when you try to access them?
  • ISP is blueyonder, I dont get an error it just reverts back to the google search page after a while.

    It could just be a DNS issue.

    BY maybe having problems resolving the IP address of the sites - which results in a timeout and you get thrown back to a search page - not sure why google but maybe its how you've got your browser configured.

    Flush the DNS aswell

    In XP Click Start, Run, type cmd,

    and then type (ipconfig /flushdns) ,,,,to flush local DNS

    ipconfig /flushdns Notice the space between ipconfig and /
