You got static IP? If you've got dynamic IP (DHCP) then release and renew your IP address. Try that Instructions -> [Open a command window and type "ipconfig /release" <enter> and then "ipconfig /renew" <enter>]

Next step is to ping the domain name from the command prompt and see if it resolves correctly.

If PING resolves correctly, then it's your internet explorer cache that's causing the problem.

If PING resolves incorrectly, then either your hosts file (correct location %sysdir%\drivers\etc\hosts - where %sysdir% is likely either c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system32) is configured incorrectly, or your DNS server is resolving the domain names incorrectly.

If PING resolves incorrectly and your hosts file is configured correctly, then it's an issue with the cache on your DNS server. If you have your own DNS server, backup the current configuration and open up DNS manager and clear the cache by right clicking on the domain name in the forward lookup zones and selecting "clear cache". Restart the DNS services. If you don't host your own DNS server, then consult with your internet service provider or whoever you are using for DNS resolution.

If after all that it still doesn't work, then I don't know what's wrong.
