      When you say does not load what does happen?
      can you PM a url to me?

      Can it be loaded from outside office?

        Are other sites loading normally?

        Can you resolve the host name from a command window on the PC:

        nslookup {hostname}

        If you can't resolve the hostname then it's probably a DNS issue. (you could try adding an entry to your hosts file and see if that gets around the problem?)

          Different computers on the same network / IP segment not loading the site could be a Proxy server OR DNS Setting.

          I'm on Mac so that's what I know about.

          What are your Mac network settings?

          Do you get an IP address?

          Can you load other websites from the same virtual hosting server?

          Can you load the website via the IP address?

          Whats the URL of the website?

          Steve

                Thanks Doug, I will check with Lead Dev as I know he worked on it for about 30 minutes in the command window.

                We changed IP addresses, etc. to no avail.

                  Rob, you will need to do the NSlookup on the PC with the problem.

                  It may be that other un-affected machines got dns cached, and will eventualy have same problem.

                    Disable firewall or antivirus for a moment and try visiting the site.  My firewall blocks a couple of sites or makes them perform poorly.

                      Thanks EGOL, did both and no good. Completely uninstalled AVG. Disabled windows firewall. Still no good. Only thing online is fix for Windows (I use XP pro on that mach.) and even that did not work. ???

                        Think it is around proxy srvr / DNS setting Steve. Tried changing based on a fix for XP but to no avail.

                        Mac is working from out of office and will recheck in an hour or so at office. (OMG, working on Sat again).

                        Thanks for help.

                              Can you get to it using a proxy service like proxify.com?

                                Yes, Woj, we were able to get it from other PC's in the office. But good way to check, thanks.
