The offending agent is 1 of two items I recently turned on,
1 - Tweak-XP add blocker/popup blocker
2 - FreeSurfer
One of these is doing this (resident as I expected) the only problem which I will try to narrow down later tonight is which. I only used the 'default' settings, I quickly scanned the list but didn't see 'Lunarpages' but it doesn't mean they aren't filtering 207.0.50.51 OR is there something with your pages that trigger these?
Lunar pages may want to 'download' these and check them, then request the company to 'remove' the offending setting that's blocking thier host if these are active. Stay tuned I have to leave but will debug more later.

You've seemed to miss my point.
It's only
www.Lunarpages.com (and associated links ie login.htm) that this occurs, so someone is attempting to prevent me from going to this site.
It isn't 'lunarpages' specifically since I used my thinkpad and it worked fine so save your guys some time, it's resident and persistant to my desktop. When I find it I'll post the solution, I'd just not used this system
for several weeks to access 'LunarPages' and will need to spend some debug time on it.
As far as what else? This is a security forum so I was hoping some
knowledge of web hacking and browser vunerability out in the reader community, maybe someone knows but just hasn't read this yet. As far as Microsoft they are no different than Unix/Linux, All op sys are vunerable in some way

(I do work in the industry) IF I find it to be something 'browser' specific I will file a report with MS.
Thanks for the quick responses.
