Hello,
I am running WinXp, and I'm on a cable modem. I cannot access my personal website (www.oldbranch.com) from my home computer, but all of my friends can see it. I have checked all of my security settings; Internet Explorer, ZoneAlarm, Norton Antivirus, Spybot. I cannot find any reference to this website or it's IP. Is it possible my ISP has blocked it from me? Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction? I have asked my ISP, but it's Cox Commmunications and they don't know what's going on.
Thanks,Eide

Eide,
What kind of errormessage do you get?
Maybe the domain is listed in your hosts file? Pointing to localhost instead of 209.217.44.15?

or do http://209.217.44.15. if that works, there is a DNS problem with your ISP.
woah, this is really weird... when i use the IP address of the domain name i get to some weird website (catalog.com) but if i use the domain name i get... it works. ummm, is it supposed to do that?
lol, well i guess that wont work, those are the people you got the domain name from.

I am having the SAME problem! I have Win XP and a cable modem - Comcast. I create web sites for small businesses on the side - nothing fancy. There is ONE site that I can't see on my computer (www.choice-cube.com), or my client's computer. But everyone else can see it. She wants to make changes to the site herself, so I downloaded Coffee Cup HTML editor on both of our computers. That's when the trouble started. But I have NO idea why. Not sure I understand the DNS comment earlier. Can you elaborate?
