"Site not found" via my computer, but shows up via iPhone??

I'm sorry if this is not exactly the right place to pose this question, but I figured some tech minded warriors might have some idea as to what's going on.

Basically, I have been trying to access FeedAgg.com | The Best Blogs and RSS Feeds on the Web | RSS Directory for a couple of days now and have done that on 2 different computers (at different locations), on my iPad (using WiFi at one of those locations) and have also tried doing so with three different browsers. All failed to reach the site. I get the page that says something like "site not found" or some other message that sounds like a DNS error of some kind.

The weird thing is that I can access the site on my iPhone.

I have even tried flushing DNS on one of my computers, though I don't really know whether that has anything to do with my problem anyway.

I'd love to hear some suggestions guys if anyone has an idea what the problem might be.

Vlad.

    So you can access it from outside your network but not inside your network.

    Its something to do with some sort of firewall/proxy/blah blah.

    There are a few options. If you MUST access this site and don't really care about trouble shooting.. you can look up the direct IP address for the site and try adding it to your hosts file. Or you can try using a proxy. Or a web proxy (hidemyass.. etc).

    However if you see this as a recurring problem (other than just that site) and are looking to troubleshoot the issue let me know. I'm always willing to lend a hand to fellow internet people .

    Cheers

      Proxy/Firewall/DNS.. ISP.. their server could be blocking some huge IP range for one reason or another. Fairly decent sized laundry list of reasons why a site is down for just your network.

        Thanks adizam, but I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "my network". One of the computers I was using is at home and the other one is at work. Different ISPs even.

        There is also no firewall at either home or work. Also, I have already tried using hidemyass - didn't help. Really strange..

    Have you tried clearing your browsers cache.. even using a different browser.. etc. Because thats really odd. Especially considering you're using a webproxy and getting the same results. I just typed the site url into hidemyass and the site came up instantly. Tried it from my iPhone, a laptop connecting through 4 different proxies.. including one in China.. and no odd blocking of any sort.

    What specific error are you getting? Could you screen shot the results for me? JUst so I can see if its an actual 404 or something else.

      I agree adizam, this is extremely odd! Well, now I have cleared all browser cache and even disabled the AVG antivirus, thinking that maybe somehow that's related. Still can't get in. By the way, the antivirus can't be at fault anyway because at home I tried accessing the site on my iPad using the home WiFi network and still couldn't get in.

      I've tried to insert a screengrab here, but don't know how to do it. Anyway, here is what it says at the top of the page in Firefox when I reach the site:

      The webpage "www.feedagg.com" cannot be found

      DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken.

      Thanks for your assistance, adizam.

      Regards,
      Vlad.
