Very known problem.

http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6122-0.html?forumID=44&threadID=102982&messageID=1180345&tag= is just one of the many explanations of HOSTS by Grif Thomas (he must be making at least two a day). Do an advanced forum search for hosts in the body and author Grif Thomas, and you'll become an expert on the subject.

When I come to CNET all the icons/pictures appear as a box outline with a red X. I assume it is a browser setting issue but I have been unable to find the problem. It shows itself with my Yahoo, Firefox and IE browsers. I'm running XP, IE version 6.02 with SP2 installed.
Any thoughts on what might be causing it?
