This isn't the browser cache but the DNS - the idea is that each machine on the internet has an address, and there are machines called DNS servers that change names like www.stockcharts.com to their numbers. When the ISP took StockCharts.com down and brought it back up, the ip addresses changed and not all DNS servers on the internet know yet (most only update a few times a day). So some people are getting the old address because their DNS servers haven't updated yet while others are fine because they have the updates. I'm one of the unlucky ones too right now . . . Also, I think PCs might be caching some addresses locally too but I'm not sure about this but rebooting should get rid of that. -Atin
