Can ping and trace sites but can't view on browser?

Question

I am having issues on certain sites (not all just a few). I can ping and trace sites just fine but for some reason the sites won't load in the browser. They're just stuck at "connected to example.com" in the browser's status bar. Any ideas what is causing this?

Solution

Thank you for all your suggestions, apparently all I ever need is ipconfig /flushdns
