Weird DNS issues

I'm trying to help my dad get to a website. He is accessing the net through his network, and the site will not come up. Every other site works fine, except this one. If I go to it through a proxy service, the site comes up but he cannot access it directly.
The site is www.kansas.gov. The IP looks kind of weird: 192.159.86.20
I thought only LAN IPs started with 192...but is that right?
Let me know if you need more info/
 
If the IP address starts with :
192.168.x.x
Then it is a private address, used in a LAN setup.
Just because its a 192.x.x.x address, doesn't mean it's private.

Private addresses are:
10.x.x.x
172.16.x.x -> 172.31.255.255
192.168.x.x
 
can you connect to the ip using the ip address http://192.159.86.20 ??

when you ping www.kansas.gov does it resolve it to that ip address.

Do this... go to command prompt... Start > Run type in cmd and hit enter...
type ipconfig /flushdns
Clear all cookies, history, temp files and try after
then try the site it should work... if not then use a different DNS server set it on the router or set a static on on the PC to try it...
