So we have established that you changed the Computer 3 months ago, BUT not
the router.
I presume you were able to get to these sites with the old computer?
Since changing computer have you been able to load the sites or is this the
first time you have tried?
If this is the first time you have tried, have you changed anything on the
router since changing the computers?
Have you rebooted the router?
Have you emptied the cache or reset Safari - See under Menu Safari

Both sites open fine here using the same computer setup with a Belkin
router.

These are On-Line Gaming sites - Does your ISP allow them?

Might be a DNS problem. Open Preferences/Network, select Advanced ...,
and then select DNS.

Add a couple of well-known public servers to your list of DNS Servers
and see if that helps.

You can find lists online, and it would be best to use ones near you,
but here are the ones on my list:

156.154.70.1
208.67.220.220
4.2.2.2

An open-source utility called "namebench" can help you find the best DNS
for you to use.

I had a problem accessing a particular website (Agile Web Solutions).
Changing my DNS setting to Google Public DNS solved the problem:

Normaly, yes. There's been no change there as far as I understand.
I'll e-mail them and make sure.

Since changing the computer I've also had trouble with my USB card
readers not working. All in all I've had more trouble with this Intel
iMac than I ever had with the G5 iMac.

It seems very much as though there is something wrong with your new
Intel Mac. Incidentally, I am using one of those iMacs, and using my
ISP's DNS servers, those sites work fine.
