[TriLUG] what is blocking a website in winxp?

[Sean Leinart]

Any differences in the 
DNS Servers that either system is using?
Maybe yours are set static and she is pulling
her DNS from her router or ISP which can't
resolve that site for some reason.

Cheers,

Sean

All,

A friend of mine has a winxp-home pc with sp-3 installed. Using any of
3 browsers, ( opera, IE6, firefox ), she cannot go to one website that
she used to visit regularly. She receives a timeout. I can hook my
laptop into her network and using any browser on either winxp or
ubuntu, I can access the website with no problem.

>From her winxp, I can ping the site and do a tracert to the site with
no problem.

I can disable her norton anti-virus and windows firewall and there is
no change. There are no entries in restricted areas of ie, no entries
in hosts file.

I have even tried to use the system restore, but system restore is
always incomplete -- no changes.

What am I missing?

The website is http://www.healthjobsusa.com  ( she is looking for a
nursing job and needs to connect ).

If I don't have a solution soon, I guess I can always install ubuntu
as a dual boot so she can get to the site --
