"Cannot find Server" problem

I have an interesting problem.

I subscribe to a fantasy football website and from about two weeks ago, my primary laptop has been unable to get onto the site. I can get on from any other computer and the site has assured me there are no IP blocks etc on the account. I can also get onto every other site I try from this computer.

I'm running Windows XP Pro and have already checked my allowed sites etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

 

Interestingly enough, my husband is having the same issue with his laptop and Yahoo Fantasy Football. He can access the site from any of our other PC's, but not his notebook. He is running XP Pro as well. I have checked his internet settings, we have six computers on the same network and we are using the same security software.

Figured it out.

Had harcoded DNS servers loaded. They were conflicting with this particular website.
