Using different networks will point you to different DNS servers.

Maybe DNS cache is stale. at a command prompt type ifconfig /flushdns and see if the works.

If not at a command prompt type nslookup

Do this for both your cox network and the other one you mentioned and post your results.
show me the name in 69.63.143.195 . That's right it's not there. That's because I already ''resolved" it for him. 69.63.143.195 IS THE IP ADDRESS OF THE WEB SERVER. https://www.motorsportreg.com/ = https://69.63.143.195

No further resolution is needed. If he can't get to https://69.63.143.195 (which he can't) it's not a DNS problem. Period.
