Is there any way to find the IP number for that DNS .  I am guessing but it
seems that Sygate allows an IP to be inserted as a trusted site.  If I knew
the IP number then I might be able to try that method to see if it will
allow it to pass.  Normally Sygate would ask if I wanted to allow an
incoming site.

Right now there are a whole lot of  sites that are getting blocked by both
Firefox and IE.  I set the Sygate firewall to allow all and tried a few
others. although the ar.atwola.com works when I set Sygate to allow, others
are still blocked.

For example if I click on an advertisement on the Mamma Search page
http://clickserve.cc-dt.com/link/click?lid=43000000011595540
I get the same message that FF cannot access the server.
If on the other hand I copy the actual URL and paste it in the FF browser
http://www.pplmotorhomes.com
The site comes up just fine.

Of course these could be two entirely different symptoms with similar
results.   This later case happened prior to my installing the DSL modem
with a built in router and at that time I had Cable & cable modem.  I do not
have any adware blocker running etc.  Normally just the Sygate Personal
Firewall and do occasional cleanup with Spybot S&D.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
