Three days ago I stopped being able to load the webpage that had been my homepage. I changed my homepage to a different website and that one loads fine. I cannot access this one particular website as either my homepage or after I've opened my homepage and enter that website address. I have cleared all my internet files - cookies, temporary files, cache, etc. I have made sure that the website is not being blocked by my firewall or AV program. I use Rising Firewall and AVG. My husband can load the website on his computer, so I know that the website is OK.

I'm also unable to send/receive e-mail through Outlook Express. I can get my e-mail via webmail, but not through OE. My cable provider says that is probably an issue of blocked ports. I have double-checked my firewall and AV software - even when they are disabled, I cannot get e-mail through Outlook Express. I have restarted my cable modem and router and my computer. I have run Housecall and no infections/malware show up.

Any help on "unblocking" ports and getting this one particular website (www.crosswalk.com) to load would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, guys, for your responses. It turns out that my router had a conflict with our cable modem - not an uncommon problem with the particular brand of router and our cable service. We replaced the router and have had no more problems.
