VERY VERY strange computer problem..

I don't consider myself a NOOB when it comes to software or maintaining a computer but this problem I cannot fix.

For X-mas, with the help of people on here, I upgraded my girlfriends computer.

It works great except for one tiny glitch....

She cannot access a few sites.

98% of the internet works fine but there are a couple (in a month it's only been CharterOne.com and one other, I forgot it) that she cannot access on her computer, but her moms computer upstairs can access it fine.

She is running a hub to both of them (which shouldn't make a difference, the sites worked fine prior to the upgrade)

I know there are no RESTRICTED sites on the list so that cannot be it either. I've tried turning off the SP2 firewall, that did nothing either. I've tried everything I can think of and she still cannot access CharterOne.com

Any ideas???

 
Security Settings? Internet Options, are you running adaware or any potential site blockers? Maybe something got set-up wrong. Check your cookies settings and shit like that

 
Try this in command line:

c:\> telnet charterone.com 80

type this with 2 blank lines after it:

Code:
GET / HTTP/1.0
and post results....

Code:
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Connection: close

<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href='/home/'>here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>


Connection to host lost.
If you get that result try the same thing except instead of

Code:
GET / HTTP/1.0
do

Code:
GET /home/ HTTP/1.0
and what you get?

If you get a couldn't connect message, double check any firewall or filter settings. Matter fact try going to:

http://128.11.152.178/

or

http://128.11.152.254/

it may be a DNS problem. The address ending .254 does not work at all for me either so try the one ending .178.

 
I don't think his DNS server would have anything to do with him viewing that specific page. If it wasn't set up correctly, he couldn't view anything on the internet or at least that's how our computers function at work.

And 99% of the time unless you are on a Job workgroup or domain... the DNS is assigned automatically

 
C:\Documents and Settings\Aleta>telnet charterone.com 80
