PC won't load certain webpages

Jazzy_B

I've got 2 PCs that are networked. They both run XP and use the same firewall, antivirus, security programs and settings. ISP is AOL.
Does anyone know why , or how I can find out why some websites are not accessible from one of the PCs. It's always the same PC that causes the problems.
An example of one of the sites I can't get is http://www.currysauction.co.uk/

Any help would be appreciated.

What browser are you using? Have you tried clearing the internet history, cookies etc.

I'll cry if you say you use AOL's own software.

I use Firefox, but get the same from Opera and IE. I've tried clearing everything up, but I still get the problem

How are the PCs networked? Are they both connected to a router or is one connected to the internet through another?

Both are connected to the router, one wired and one wireless. What really bugs me is that I can access stuff on one but not the other, so i didn't think it could be anything to do with the router or firewall

Is it the wireless one that's giving you trouble?

Jazzy_B

No, it's the wired one

Try setting up your router to use OpenDNS servers. Full instructions given here.

Also AOL use a MTU setting of 1400 and many routers default to 1492 or 1500. This produces the same effects.
