I am facing a issue with my computer that i can access the site only via IP but when trying to access via URL it doesn't work. I am on a network in my company any very few of them were just facing the problem others can work properly. Does any one know what the issue is about....????

Re: computers can only access sites via ip not url

This appears to be a DNS issue. Check to make sure that your DNS servers are set up correctly. Why are you using OpenDNS? Why not use your ISP's DNS servers? Try changing the DNS for your ISP instead of using OpenDNS and see if that solves the issue. It could just be that the new DNS settings haven't quite widespread DNS servers your ISP use already, this can take 24 hours.

The bond in email which people are while clicking on, and it posts URL which points towards old waiter must be pointing towards new. Simple flushdns should solve this problem?

You might have done something with the modem or the router setting & might be continuing the same setting. Try putting off the router or modem for 4 to 5 minutes. & resset the DNS cache by going to Start Menu then RUN then write cmd & press enter. Then in the command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns then again press enter. Also clear the temporary Internet Files & restart.

HOPE THIS WILL CLEAR SOLVE THE PROBLEM
