Exactly what happens when you visit that page?  The page has a pop-up on it that may be being blocked by whatever security software you have running on the new computer or by Internet Explorer's own pop-up blocker (or possibly even by a conflict between IE's pop-up blocker and the security software.  Try temporarily disabling IE's pop-up blocker and see if that helps the page load.

I have the pop up blocker disabled, but the page still won't open.   At the bottom of the page it will say opening http://www.lake-mills.k12.ia.us/ then done, but the page is blank, and the address in the address bar is whatever page I was on previously. I also tried disabling McAfee, and I still could not open the page.

if you've not already done so, try resetting your internet options security setting to default by clicking the button.

I often see this too. But normally, not when selecting a URL from my Favorites list or when typing the URL in the address bar. It happens to me when I select a link that is on a web page I am looking at. The link opens the page, reports done, but I have a blank display. When I click on the reload button, the page opens normally and displays okay. Annoying, but at least something I can live with.

I am running IE version 7 Beta 2 which shows blocking pop-up
When I click on the information bar, drop-down "Settings"
drop-down "More settings"
I get
Pop-up Blocker Settings
Exceptions
Pop-ups are currently blocked. You can allow pop-ups from specific
websites by adding the site to the list below.
Address of website to allow:

So I inserted
http://www.lake-mills.k12.ia.us/ [Add]
Allowed sites:
Notifications and Filter Level
Play a sound when a pop-up is blocked.
Show Information bar when a pop-up is blocked.
Filter Level:
Medium: Block most automatic pop-ups
Pop-up Blocker FAQ [Close]

I did not drop down other options (besides the default "Medium"

You may download, install and use Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2.
I am finding it to be fun.
I also have 'Bon Echo' (Firefox2)

I downloaded and installed IE 7, put the link in the allowed sites, and the page still won't open.

Wednesday a student's notebook could not get into web sites and I found a hard-coded DNS TCP/IP address. I changed the setting to "obtain DNS automatically" and everything cleared up. The interesting thing is that stuff worked when connected with wireless here but when I turned off the wireless and had an Ethernet cable connected, it would not work at all until I made DNS be automatic rather than specific address(es).
How about downloading and trying "Bon Echo" (FireFox 2)?
Turn OFF Windows firewall.
What other internet security are you running? Symantec? McAfee? Zone Alarm?
What does IPCONFIG /ALL show?

If I remove my DNS settings, IE can't even find my home page.  After I removed the settings, it wouldn't let my select obtain automatically.   I already have windows firewall disabled.  I use McAfee, and have the privacy service disabled.  When I try to run IPCONFIG /ALL a black screen pops up and disappears so fast, you can't see anything.  I don't have any idea what else to try.  I've always used Norton, so McAfee is new to me, so I haven't changed any of the default settings, except disabling the privacy service.

McAfee may be preventing.
What is your home page?
What is your "preferred" DNS address?
Do you have a second one (or more)?
To get the /ALL report
Start | Run "Cmd" press Enter
This will give you the black screen that will stay
type C:
press Enter
type CD \
press Enter
type MD DOWNLOAD
press Enter
type CD DOWNLOAD
press Enter
IPCONFIG /ALL >My.Txt
press Enter
type EXIT
press Enter

Now you can use NotePad (or WordPad) to "Open" My.txt in the C:\DOWNLOAD folder and copy and paste the report into a post here.

The settings I am familiar with (that work, here) are:
* obtain DHCP (automatically) through WINS
* obtain DNS automatically (no hard-coded)
Is there some reason that you (seem) do not have WINS enabled for the DHCP ?

Without your using those kinds of settings, I am beyond my ability to help you. Over and out.

When I run command prompt cmd, then telnet www.lake-mills.k12.ia.us 80  I get the error message "Could not open connection to the host on port 80, Connection failed.  Any suggestions?

What happens if you disable the Norton Security and then type the telnet command?
What is that command supposed to accomplish? This is what I get
