try your hosts file.
go to %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\
(use run) then open hosts (no file extension) with notepad.
Look for the line that says 127.0.0.1 xat.com or has xat.com in it, and delete it.

did you check your registry to see if you are blocking the site in there? Go to START --- RUN---- type in "regedit" and that will open your registry. Then go to EDIT "Find". Type in "xat.com" and see if it comes up anywhere in your registry. If it does, it's possible that you are blocking the site in your registry. I use the registry to block some sites, too. If so, you can delete the entry "xat.com" if it exists but be careful and you might want to run it by someone before doing it .....or also, backing up your entire registry before doing it so you don't screw yourself.

try your internet settings too.Check if you have internet Explorer 7 or firefox 2.
Scan your pc to make sure you don't have a virus/spyware.

what worked for me is disabling client dns cacheing. you can test if this will work by opening command prompt, start > run > cmd.

type

net stop DNScache

(to start it again, net start DNScache)

then try and ping the site you having issues with. if it works you need to just disabled cilent side dns cacheing. to do this go start > run > services.msc

in the service window that opens go down to DNS client and double click. change it from automatic to disabled and restart.
