Default Can't access a certain website... need suggestions

I haven't been able to get onto a certain website for a couple of weeks. Can't explain why. The website is up and running with no problems... I have contacted the owners/webmasters.

I am not blocked on their end.

I can ping the site with no problems.

I can view a text only version.

I can't access it from my laptop, or my desktop.

I can't access it from Firefox, Google Chrome, or IE.

The only thing I can think of is that is has to be some sort of router problem... I have a wireless router.

Any ideas??

No, another forum... dumped dns cache.... still can't access it.

It's weird because I can't get to it from either computer. Leads me to think it's an IP issue, or something weird with the router. Can't think of anything else.

check the firewall for any blocked ip address, and check to see if the router has a fire wall on, or has blocked the ip address.

weird. try shutting your router and modem off for a few minutes.
Also add it as a trusted site.

Really just throwing stuff out there.

I can't imagine why the router would all the sudden block the IP.

Firewall isn't blocking it... I did add it to the trusted IP list, and still nothing.

Cycled the modem and the router... still nothing

Did a 'Repair Connection' on my wireless setup... still nothing

The thing I don't get is that I can ping the IP of the server and get no problems... that means I can connect to there server.... but can't view the page. Can't figure this one out...
