Hello everyone,
I own a domain name www.mysite.com (example)
most of the time is ok but sometimes my site dont work and if i do
ping www.mysite.com I see that is directing to a local LAN ip like 192.108.2.40 or something like that.
at the same moment if I do it in other PC everything is OK
so I know the problem is my PC
what can it be? virus, hack?
thanks a lot

have u checked ur dns ?

what's in the hosts file?
who is providing the DNS service?

If i go to a PC next to that one I dont have any problem, its only in this PC.
this is a windows XP
whats is a host file?

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

In that path I got
127.0.0.1 localhost
all other lines remed out with #

thanks

what does nslookup say?

As I mentioned before this happens sometimes. right now i dont have that problem and when I do nslookup i get the IP of my dns provider as i set up in my network properties.
thanks again

in that case scan for viruses

I know if I format my PC ill fix it.
but I'd like to find out exactly the problem
thanks a lot

as I said, it might be a virus
