Unable to get to A website

This isn't really an IE issue but definitely a client issue. Today's water
cooler topic at the office was www.elfyourself.com. Everyone around the
office is able to get to this URL but me. I have even gone as far as to come
home on my home network and try but still no success. I have no trouble
getting to any other sites except this one. When I do ping tests, I am able
to receive responses from all other sites but no response from this one
(whether I use DNS name or IP). So since it doesn't respond, clearly I can't
get in to the site with IE or Firefox. There are no bogus entries in my
HOSTS or LMHOSTS. I've released/renewed a number of times. What gives?

Flush your browser cache and history [for the fun of it].

Maybe a sysadmin doesn't like you and blocked you from accessing that site.

Yep had tried that. Even used a different browser just for good measure. I
think though if I can't even ping the site than it is an issue definitely
outside of the browser.

Try installing another browser. It will definitely tell you if it's a browser
issue or the PC.

Missed that [been so long :) ]. Site doesn't like you, I guess.
