I am using MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.7.5 and writing an iPhone app about PowerBall.

I cannot browse www.powerball.com using Safari, Chrome and Firefox of MacBook Pro.

However, there is no problem in Safari of iPhone 4S and IE of Windows 7.

Even I can read the content of www.powerball.com by PHP of my website,

I need the check the information in www.powerball.com to ensure the accuracy.

I have disconnected the ISP and using Wifi of iPhone 4S, but the result is the same.

Is MacKeeper block www.powerball.com like firewall? Any other problems cause it?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), sudo ruby gem rails

Get rid of it anyway. It can do nothing beneficial.

Go to Safari's Preferences. Click the Advanced icon, then Proxies > "Change Settings".

Is anything checked in the System Preferences window that appears?
