I assume that you only have trouble accessing this one site - all other sites open okay. Do you receive an error message when accessing the page at the AT&T site? What browser are you using? What error do you get when your computer 'freezes?'

Try this: download CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/, and run it to remove all of your temp files, internet cache, history, etc.

What browser? Have you tried (from your computer) with a different browser, e.g., Firefox?
