Ah... beta :D

But I can access it from my laptop and my other machines in the house.

I did just reboot and then again dumped the cache on both browsers and 
still I cant get access.

I pinged www.google.com from my laptop and its fine.
 From this computer: 5 packets sent, 0% success.

Ok.. what can cause 1 in 4 machines NOT to access a site?
Im wired directly to the router, the others are wireless.
