    Can't access ebay.com through internet explorer or Firefox
    Using xp professional sp2 and internet explorer 6.0 sp3 and can not access ebay.com using the address bar. Can access all other sites that I know of. I will relocate me to Google search then when I click on ebay.com it will give me the white screen isp provider etc. I have windows firewall turned off, other computers on same network are fine. I have deleted cookies and history, have tried Firefox and also used the ip address for eBay and still nothing. But I can type eBay Motors - Autos, Used Cars, Motorcycles, Boats, Trucks, Parts, Accessories, RVs and Other Vehicles and it works. Any thing else to try

    I'm also having issues with eBay as well.
    I think it's them rather than anything we can do.

    I fixed my issue. I went into windows/system32/ and renamed hosts to hostsold and rebooted PC. Works great now.

    Sorry The fix was in windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts. Just rename hosts to hostsold and reboot PC

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been unable to access paypal, Google, and eBay since I got a virus a couple months ago. I was able to get myself back on the internet, but could not access those 3 sites. I called paypal and my internet service provider and nothing they told me to do worked. Thanks to you, I followed your instructions, and BINGO, I'm back on. Again, thank you.
