    I just switch hosts for one of my web sites.

    I change the name servers and they have propgated because I checked the DNS on a DNS report website and the domain name points to the new host.

    Everyone can connect to the new host and view my web site except for me. The only way I can connect and view my web site is if I go to it through a proxy.

    I tried flushing the cache. I tried clearing the temporary internet files and history. I tried disabling the negative caching through the registry. I tried restarting the dns client service. Nothing works. This is beyond frustrating and makes no sense.

    It is not my browser, because the same thing happens in firefox and IE. It is not my firewall, because I disabled the firewall and tried and the exact same thing happens.

    What the hell can I do to make this work? I am on Windows XP.

    It can take several days to propagate to all of the world wide DNS servers.

    I have seen it take as many at 4.

    What do you get if you look up the web site name with NSLOOKUP. For example,

    nslookup www.windowsbbs.com

    This will do two things - tell you which DNS server your system is using to resolve the name, as well as determine if your system can resolve the name via DNS (and therefore the problem is elsewhere).
