nor do the videos on youtube... But ATOT is working 🙂

I was using IE 6 till now. I downloaded FF and still have the same problem...

Strange thing is, it's happening on both my laptops...

Any theories and more importantly solutions?

Thanks...

 
I think I'd try restarting your router. Possibly your modem to.

yankeesfan's suggestion is also worth a shot, can't hurt.

Well, if you couldn't reach CNN via the IP address it shouldn't be related to your hosts file, but open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and see if there's anything in there that doesn't look right. i.e. a line like this:
127.0.0.1 www.google.com

Not much point now that you have it working, but for future reference open this file with notepad:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I just have the localhost there...

So how would the host files give an indication if someone is trying to screw me...Are these logs that get updated everytime you visit a website?

No, the hosts file just tells your computer what IP address belongs to what host name. So one way to screw with people is to point common websites like google to a different IP address.
