I shut down my router & cable modem for about 20 minutes while I ran CleanUp!, Spybot and adaware scans and cleanups. Even in IE (I usually use firefox) I still cannot get the ratemycop page, just that stupid lovingfamilydollhouses. But then Charter is bad about clearing out their DNS servers and I had to use a friend's DNS server for about 2 months one time because of a bad address in Charter's cache for a forum I admin'd. Starting to tick me off :X I have yet to reach the page since I heard about it last week.
It's not a DNS issue. Both the doll site and ratemycop resolve to the
same IP address.
What version of IE are you using? It's possible that whatever hack they're using for virtual host selection only works in some versions of IE.
UPDATE1: Yep, that's it. I just updated my IE version from 5 to 6 (this was on a fresh copy of XP) and now it doesn't work for me any more either. I'll try updating to 7 and see what happens.
UPDATE2: IE7 doesn't work. Trying IE8, just for giggles.
UPDATE3: Okay, this is very weird. It turns out that the breakage when upgrading from IE5 to IE6 had nothing to do with the browser. The difference was that I turned off use of my proxy server (because the upgrade process had trouble working through the proxy).
So what I see now is that all browsers work, but only if they're proxied through my squid proxy server first. Unproxied, all browsers take me to the doll site.
For others who can use the site, can you describe your configuration?
