Cannot access some web-sites... help.

[NeverhadaPC]

I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.

There were websites I used to visit without any problems (like www.livestrong.com and gigapedia.com). Then one day (nothing changed hardware or software-wise), I could no longer access these sites from my computer.

My friend came over - with his PC - and was able to access it from my network. I was also able to access the sites from my wife's iMac G5 and iPod Touch (same network), but I still cannot access them on my computer using ANY browser (Safari and Firefox). I cannot access the site from anyone's network either --- making me think my MBP is doing something weird with the Network Settings.

I keep getting:
"The server denies connections. The server might be too busy or might be disabled. Try again a bit later."

I have installed Glimmerblocker on Safari and AdBlocker on Firefox, but turning these off does NOT change my results.

What do I need to reset or what did I do to cause this? How do I fix this?

Have you tried resetting your network settings?

What about changing your thread title to something like "Can't access some sites on the www, while others can." to gather the proper audience?

What about starting with a fresh browser like Chrome? Try it and report the results.

Try setting up a second account on your mac to test and see if anything changes.

Thank you! This works!

Sorry about the overly-creative title, but I had posted this twice previously (using proper titles) with 0 replies and figured to try with something else.
