Any idea what would be causing me from viewing a website?

[Nocturnal]

Every time I try to view a certain website it says that the page cannot be displayed and that it cannot find the server. I have multiple friends who are currently at the site and nothing is wrong with it. I turned off Zone Alarm to check and see if Zone Alarm was causing it, it wasn't. Now what?

Could this be causing the problem?

Nocturnal: If you're still having the problem, do a dns lookup on that site's domain name (or have one of your friends do it if you can't), and see if your browser will pull up the webpage based on its ip. If that does not work, traceroute to the ip and find out which hop is dropping your packets. Are your friends in the same local subnet?

I found the ip of the site, still couldn't get to it. Did a tracert, did the trace fine. WTF?

Reboot man, reboot.

Also might want to try a ipconfig /flushdns
