Browser Hangs when Loading WebSite

Unable to browse one website on one computer

I need some help. I am running WindowsXP on 3 networked computers. I can access every website I've tried except for Netflix.com. All of a sudden a few days ago, it wouldn't finish opening the site. I access this page all the time, but now it just says "opening netflix.com" for about 3 minutes and then goes to the "page unavailable" page. I thought their site was down, but I can access it from the two other computers in my house with no problem. I've checked my settings, even added the site to my trusted zones. I've made sure my anti-virus, internet explorer 6 and Windows is updated. I've uninstalled my zonealarm, cleared my cache files, cleared my cookies, checked for spyware, and run my anti-virus. I've installed Netscape version 7.1 even that browser can't open the page. Everything I can think of to fix this, but I am still having the same problem, just with that site. I've e-mailed them to find out if there is a problem on their end but have received no reply. Maybe someone in this forum has any other ideas. At this point, I'm wondering if it's my computer or something that they've changed on their website and my system doesn't like. I'm just lost. I look forward to any advice or ideas you might have.

Thank You

They use a lot of technology -- scripting, cookies, 3rd party servers and redirects. In Opera, I can generate the behavior you describe by disabling automatic redirection...but there's a whole lot of technology going on to deliver one page there.

I used to be a subscriber and sometimes I had troubles with the site. My firewall was part of it one time, and I had to go into the individual rules and reconfigure.

Because you're having trouble with EVERY browser on your network, but not with any browsers that are not on the network, it sounds like it may well be something in your Network's firewall or other configuration, rather than a browser issue.
