weird computer issue

FEELING GREAT, FEELING GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
I didn't really know where else to post this but considering that there are some people here that know their stuff when it comes to computers I thought I might as well ask.

I can't view certain websites on my laptop. Some of these sites are cracked.com, i-am-bored, ehow, and formspring.me (that weird facebook trend) but there are a few more I think. It wasn't always this way - I definitely remember a moment like six months ago where I went to cracked.com and all of a sudden it just didn't work.

I can get to any of these sites using a proxy. You might think that means that I have a filter installed or my IP is banned or something, but that's not the case. I can visit these sites from my desktop computer at home and even if I'm on a different wifi network I still can't access these sites. And I definitely don't have a filter because I can get to pretty much any porn site I want without any trouble.

If anyone has any idea what the problem is, please enlighten me. I'd really like to know.
 
... what browser are you using and have you checked to see if that might the problem? It is probably something far simpler than you think.

Have you tried a DNS Flush? ("ipconfig /flushdns" in the Windows Run menu)

i'm on a mac, but i googled for an equivalent and found "dscacheutil -flushcache". then i tried that in the terminal but it still doesn't work. :(
