I am trying to figure out an issue. My internet is working fine, but this one website is not resolving. It works via a proxy, traceroute works:

Ping returns this:

Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
Request timeout for icmp_seq 5
Request timeout for icmp_seq 6

But what I can not figure out is why my browsers (Firefox, Safari, Opera) can not resolve the domain. I am on a Wifi connection. What could be the problem?

BTW I am on a Mac (10.6.5)
