Can not view websites on my machine... others can view? What is it

[Guest]

Hi everyone .. I hope you can help.
I have a website http://pier3.port5.com which I can not access through my
connection. Others with different connections can view. I use Boradband by
Road Runner. I know DSL from BellSouth can access the site.

There were issues with the provider but they say all is well now. since
others can view I guess the problem is here.
I deleted all temp. internet files, history and even cookies, but still no
use.

Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Have you tried pinging it?

Start --> Run --> Type "CMD" Enter --> Type "Ping http://pier3.port5.com"
Enter it should try to ping the server with information 4 times...

sites such as yahoo.

pier3.port5.com is a webcam near Jacksonville, FL (although the port5.com
domain appears to be registered in the U.K.). Perhaps your ISP's DNS server
is not up-to-date for some reason (especially if there were "issues with the
provider" that might have resulted in a new IP address). Try temporarily
resetting your network connection properties to use a public DNS server, such
as 4.2.2.2

Start – Control Panel – Network Connections
Right click on the network connection you are using and choose Properties
Scroll to TCP/IP Settings, Highlight it and choose Properties
Under the DNS section, choose “Use the following DNS server address†and
enter 4.2.2.2 (AFTER writing down the address of the DNS server that's
already there, so you can restore it later).
OK your way out.

You may have to re-boot for this to take effect.

The reason this happens is because of NAT being done on your router.
Generally if other people from the interent can see a site on your IP , but
you yourself won't be able to look into the IP address.
