When I enter a known website I get redirected to another completely different site. Why?

I saved a website from AT&T regarding broadband status. For some reason it is now completely associated with Linked In. So, when I click on anything that is supposed to take me to LI, it redirects me to the AT&T Broadband status page. Even when I write in the url for www.linkedin.com, I am redirected to the AT&T site. I am not sure how this association was made and don't know how to correct it so I can get to my Linked In page. Has anyone experienced this automatic and overriding redirect?
