127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, and it means you computer is trying to talk to itself. Therapy may be required. (jk)
Edit: thinking about it, if everything is trying to go there, I wonder if the HOSTS file is fubared.
It is found in the directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
The file doesn't have an extension (it is simply called "hosts") but it is a text file.
Here is what a totally clean one should look like:
Quote:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
