Can't hit www.netflix.com - Am I doing something wrong?

[hungnd]

I tried about a month ago and got the ubiquitous "The page cannot be displayed" screen in my IE. Tonight, I tried again, same thing. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a big coincidence?



Netflix



Netflix

More Information:

1. Chances are Netflix is a solid company and they will hit the 2009 guidance, beat the Street and everyone will be happy

Edit: Yep, that was it. I downloaded an extensive HOSTS file some time ago and there were a couple entries with netflix:



127.0.0.1 image.netflix.com

127.0.0.1 www.netflix.com



I commented them out:



# 127.0.0.1 image.netflix.com

# 127.0.0.1 www.netflix.com



Now I can hit it. Thanks!
