Blocked web page?

I have a web page I am trying to access, one that I can go to on other
computers, and could on this one. But, for some reason, it will no longer
load the page. I have checked all the security and privacy settings, and
they all seem ok. I am running XP with SP2. Is it possible to block pages by
accident, and how do you go about re-allowing them? Any thoughts would be
helpful.
 
Check C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc for a file named HOSTS with no
extension. (Not Hosts.sam)
Make sure Windows is set to show hidden files and folders and is NOT set to
hide extensions for known file types.
If HOSTS exists, rename it to HOSTS.OLD
Reboot an try again.

Or, In a Cmd window, enter
ipconfig /flushdns
then clear your TIF also, and re-boot.
