The specified URL cannot be found (various fixes not working)

I am having an issue with a government website that involves work that I do. I do not see any issues with things like extensions or mis-typed web addresses, but when I try to submit info to the website I keep getting

"the specified url cannot be found"

I checked to see if the website was having issues, but they are good, so the issue is on my end. I looked up the issue and see that more are having it as well. I tried various fixes that included deleting cookies, extensions and even reinstalling the current Edge with no luck. Not sure what the deal is here. Everything looks good on my end and on the websites end so I am running out of ideas. I need to get this figured out. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    Hi Brent,

    Try clearing your browser's cache. And flushing your dns. Open your cmd and type these commands.

    netsh winsock
    reset netsh int ip reset
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns

    After a few tries, it was determined that the websites firewall was blocking my submission. There was a reference website link (not a hyper link, but just text) and the websites firewall blocked it. Once removed it worked.

    ps Jeric appreciate the feedback too
