For about the last two weeks the website
http://www.idevgames.com
has been totally unresponsive for me. I haven't done anything about it since I thought it was either an error with my ISP, the webserver, or some other little weird thing.

Today, however, I think I've lost another website - http://www.php.net no longer responds on any of the computers in my house, just like idevgames.com.

A call to my ISP has given me no help, and my DSL provider (Qwest) did not help out, either. They're simply not sure what the problem is, why I could access the rest of the internet, but just not these two sites.

We've tried doing traceroutes on the ips of these sites (traceroutes turned up only 10.0.0.1, the IP of my router, and nothing after that, even for sites that should respond like google.com or cisco.com ), pings on the sites (pinging works on google, but not on microsoft.com or on idevgames or php.net), and most recently I just tried totally resetting the NVRAM of my Cisco 675 router/modem, but this has not fixed anything either.

Does anyone have *any* idea what could be going wrong? I'm totally stumped, I've never experienced anything like this before. Either the internet works or it doesn't, not individual sites not working for me.

Thanks a million times over in advance!

Your DNS server may be at fault, or at least the address you have for your DNS server. Get with your ISP and ask what IP their DNS servers have, and enter them manually. That <b>should</b> fix it.
