Then I suspect the problem is with your DNS or, as others may ask
you to check, with your HOSTS file. In the latter case the most likely
problem would be that the HOSTS file is not pointing to the same address
that nslookup finds is now being used.

Can you resolve that image's server name to an IP address?
(e.g. using ping or tracert)

If not, Enter in a command window:

       nslookup banners.wunderground.com

If that times out enter instead:

    nslookup wunderground.com

and then try the first command again.

Alternatively, enter just nslookup (by itself without operands)
to enter its interactive mode and enter that server name and
that domain name to test them. Enter the exit subcommand
to end the nslookup interactive session and return to the normal
command line.

There is more that you can do with nslookup in its interactive mode
to find a site's address but let's start with that. Recently I have had
to resort to the domain name trick myself several times to find some
of the sites that others have reported having problems with.

Good luck

Robert
