Vista - dns error on one particular webpage

For several months now I have not been able to access "http://www.cakecentral.com" on my Vista laptop or XP laptop. I don't have the firewall turned on.

In a last ditch effort I contacted my ISP to see if they were blocking the site. They cannot access the site either.

I contacted the webmaster at cakecentral.com and got the following response.

No, Cakecentral.com does not block any ISPs.

We are currently hosted in the Amazon cloud so there is high availability.
It is possible that your work network or home network is blocking access.

Thanks
webmaster@cakecentral.com


I have looked everywhere I can think of to see if the network is blocking the site and can't figure out what is wrong.

We have qwest dsl with a local ISP. My husbands aunt has qwest DSL with MSN as ISP and can view the site. As can my mother in law that has mediacom for her ISP.

Can anyone help me figure out why I cannont access this one site?

thanks,
Shannon

What happens when you try to go to the site, I've just managed it from the address in your post, do you get any error messages and what do they say.?

What other security programs do you have running, it's possible one of them might list the site as Malware and block it.

These are just my thoughts so may not help but thought I'd ask

Joan,
Thanks so much for offering to help. I was getting the page cannot be displayed...and it said something about check network settings etc.

So in my searching for a solution I found this website
https://www.opendns.com/start/device/windows-vista

I followed the instructions and I can now access the site. At least for now. If I have anymore troubles I will post the exact error message.

Thanks again.
Shannon

You're welcome, glad to hear you've been able to sort it out.
There's always someone here to help if you do find yourself in trouble so don't hesitate to come back

In order to confirm that you have a problem with the DNS servers provided by your ISP you could try resetting from OpenDNS and entering 174.129.211.41 into the address bar of your browser, (that is the actual address of the site as of five minutes ago ),

If this works then the problem is definitely with your ISP DNS server
