Browsing certain websites fails

In the past few weeks some of the websites I visit frequently during the day at work and home have stopped working on my plus.net connection.
I have tried everything I can think of as a network administrator, and can only put it down to a problem at plus.net's end.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
http://www.debenhams.com won’t work, which I know works when I am at work, can anyone confirm if it works for them on their plus.net connection?
Many Thanks
Sam

It works from the office here, and also from my home connection.
What error messages do you get, if any? Does it fail in a different browser? Have you tried removing all temporary internet files/cookies? Have you tried using alternative DNS servers?
If you run a traceroute to debenhams.com, where is the last hop?

Just to add.  My browser jumps straight to it.  It sounds like  a browser issue.  Did clearing out the cache and cookies help?

Hi there,
I have just tried accessing Debenhams using Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, and Firefox and all four browsers worked fine.
It sounds as though it is something related to your browser - I would remove all your cookies and clear any caches that are maintained and see if any improvement is forthcoming.
Regards,

got to the bottom of it!
Seems as though peerguardian was running, with nothing in the tray bay and also with HTTP blocked!
thanks for the advise.
