Can't reach a site from home computer

[LarryLook]

I often go to www.quicktopic.com for their forums. My friends and I have a
forum there. Its a well known site and reputable I've heard. I cant get
there anymore from my home computers. Ive tried disabling firewalls,
turning off antivirus
(mcaffee), checked internet settings/security. uninstalled anti adware
programs. I cant ping it and reach it with command prompt. I cant do it on
any of my 4 computers! Yet friends, can family can get there with no
problem. comcast and belkin (router) support couldnt help me. I use IE but
downloaded firefox, but it wont get there. I cant get to the cached version
with Yahoo or google search for it. The belkin router has security and
firewall turned off. Any suggestions! Any help appreciated

This is likely a DNS problem. In a command prompt, type
ipconfig /all <enter>

I'm presuming you use DHCP from the Belkin. If you see your Belkin's LAN IP
address listed for DNS, try fixing it to dish out your ISP's DNS server IP
addresses instead of its own. This frequently works better.

And turn that firewall back on!!!
