Can't visit certain websites

I'm having trouble getting into certain websites when other people don't seem to have any problem at all. It's just certain sites like gamespot and newgrounds that are giving me trouble, with Firefox I get a "cannot connect" error, and with IE I get a 404 page. I tried visiting these sites on a computer at my school and no problems.

Tried cleaning my history but besides that I don't really know what else to look for, no spyware or any viruses either.

Any help? Thanks :)

Try waiting a while. Maybe those site just changed servers and your ISP's DNS server have not yet updated.

That's possible, hadn't considered that. but this has been going on for a almsot a month now, would it take that long?
