Weird page viewing problem

I've been asking most of my friends about this problem, but no one have been able to find an answer.
The thing is, I can't view these 2 different homepages: www.magelo.com and www.corona-mundi.de. I do not have any firewalls that I know about, and none of the pages are blocked.
I'm using Internet explorer 5.5 right now, but I tried to download netscape just to see if that browser would find the pages, but it didn't work. Also been trying to ping the 2 different URLs, but I don't get any message at all, just a black window that closes itself after a while. (using run in win 98 2nd edition)

My computer is also the "server" in my home network, so the internet access goes via my comp. But all the other computers can reach the pages, just not mine.
Tried to turn off the internet sharing program, but that didn't help.

I was hoping that perhaps any of you guys here know what to do, since alot of you seem to be working with computer.

Thanks alot

Can you PING either of those pages?

If you can ping it but can't browse there, I'd update your browser.

What version of Windows are you using?

If you can't even ping the pages, I'd suggest flushing the DNS. In Win2K/XP, it's easily done by going to a command prompt and typing in 'ipconfig /flushdns'. For Windows 95/98/ME, you just reboot.

To make Khyrons post much shorter considering the info you posted: Reboot.

I didn't see that 'win 98 second edition' until later

I'd try pinging first, see if you even CAN ping the pages.

If you can't, reboot. If you can, I would suggest reinstalling TCP/IP and Winsock.

Seems like they have been trying to ping with no success.

well.. I've had this problem for 2 months or so now. I have rebooted my computer during that time.
Thinking about just formating it, but I would prefer to find the problem instead of ecaping it.

Exactly what happens when you try to go to the pages? Do you get any sort of error messages or error pages at all? Does it say anything unusual in the status bar?

If I remember correctly... Win98SE's ICS was crap.

Been gone over the weekend, and not been able to check my computer.

Drys, I assume the status bar is this gray bar under the window. (correct?) Nothing unusal there, just opening page http://www.magelo.com/... and after a long time of loading, it says done, and the normal error page shows up, like when you type the URL wrong or the page is down.
