Strange Problem - One Particular Website Will Not Load Properly!
I have a really odd problem...one particular website that I visit regularly (www.fatwallet.com) will not load properly, while every other page does. I do not get the 404 error, it just loads EXTREMELY slow and with no graphics. Here is a list of things that I've tried:

1) The website will not load in Firefox, IE, or mobile Safari.
2) Problem occurs on all three of my devices at home (desktop, laptop, iphone).
3) I have tried rebooting the machines and router.
4) I can ping the website just fine.
5) I have cleared my cache, cleared cookies, and performed a /flushdns.
6) I have tried loading the site after booting into safemode with networking.
7) I have tried disabling my antivirus (AVG free)
8) My router is currently using DNS servers from OpenDNS, but I have tried 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3
9) I have verified that the website DOES load properly outside my home (e.g. Starbucks)
10) I have tried NETSH WINSOCK RESET CATALOG
11) I have updated Flash on my browser.

I've been racking my brain over this for the past week. If anyone out there has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

I would guess based on what you have done it's an issue with your router or the ISP. Have you tried accessing the site while using your ISP DNS servers instead of OpenDNS? Have you tried resetting your router?

Yes, I called my ISP (Charter) and they suggested that I try the global DNS servers 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, and 4.2.2.3. That didn't work. They said that since the site could be pinged, they didn't think it was a problem with the DNS and said the best they could do was flag my account on their "watchlist".

Smile One page does not load while all others do.
I am experiencing the exact same problem.
All my equipment works well (loads properly) at other hot spots.
We suspect the router. Others with same problem replaced router and end of story.
