What would be the cause of someone not being able to get to a website on their local machine but every other website is accessible? This is a standalone computer and other people at other locations can get to the site. Any thoughts?

Some possibilities
  • A failure to resolve the name to the correct IP address. e.g. problem with the DNS server they are using.
  • They are behind a proxy server that limits to what sites they can go (and the site isn't allowed).
  • They are using some browser security software that is blocking the site.
  • They are mistyping the address


A place to start would be to ask what error they are getting.
