Hold on a second! I've fixed someone else's that was doing exactly the same thing. Try adding the correct IP address to the hosts file, and then the reverse to the lmhosts file.

For example, the hosts file should look like this:

xx.xx.xx.xx www.ironworksforum.com

and the lmhosts file should look like this:

www.ironworksforum.com xx.xx.xx.xx

Obviously you need to fill in the x's with the appropriate IP addresses.
Also, make sure you go to the command prompt and rename the files to hosts and lmhosts, instead of hosts.sam and lmhosts.sam

Please try this before giving up. It has worked for a couple of other people, and they never have the problem again.
