I am trying to access this website
thebreastcancersite.com (206.253.208.222).
I visit the site everyday to donate to charity by doing a click on thw website. Sometimes the website home page loads OK. But a lot of the time, the progress bar creeps along really slowly and eventually says 'this page cannot be displayed' and this happens most of the time. I can, with patience, access it once a day.
Ping requests time out from two different computers, mine and an internet cafe. I know this site have disabled Ping, but is there anyway, i can guarantee, i connect to this website?
Thank-you

I'm not that much of an expert yet, but it sounds like maybe some of the files in your cache relating to that site may be corrupt. Try entering the following line into the command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns

yeah I would try clearing the web browser cache first of all.
I tried the site and it appears to work for me. Maybe the site was having technical issues for a while or something.
