Unable to open a specific site

Hi,
I have recently been having trouble opening a site (myspace) on my home PC (running with Windows XP), even though it works fine on my computer at work. The site doesn't open on my wife's laptop (running mac osx) either. I've tried Firefox, IE and Opera, but with no results. I've also tried putting the IP address for the site in, that doesn't work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

 

Are you using a firewall with Privacy blocking like Zone Alarm Pro?

 

I'm using ZoneAlarm, but even with that shut down the site can't be accessed

 

What version of Zone Alarm are you using...ZA Free? Pro? Have you tried cleaning your browser cache after ZA is shutdown to see if you can then access the site? It could be your accessing a 'cached' page that had the Zone Alarm java insertion from a previous attempt.

 

It's the free ZoneAlarm. I shut it down, cleared the cache, still no luck.

I don't think it has anything to do with my computer anyway, since it's not loading on my wife's laptop either.

 

If you are talking about myspace.com, it works perfectly in my copies of Opera and Firefox, so I assume the problem is limited to your computer?

I'm using Win 98 and free ZA. The IP address I got, using Steve Gibson's ID Serve tool, was 63.208.226.28, is that the one you tried?

Also, do you have a Hosts file, and is myspace included in it?

 

I too get it fine with Firefox, XP, and Zone Alarm. As TOGG suggested, check your host file. Also, might you have any other application blocking cookies?

 

I don't have a hosts file (bar the sample one that windows includes)

It can't be my computer anyway, as I'm getting the same problem with the laptop, which means it must be something to do with our internet connection. No idea how to fix it though.

 

Can I assume the ISP you use at work is different then the one at home? I'd call your ISP and see what they have to say about it.
