Life was sweet until I installed "Transmission" (a bitTorrent client) and "PeerGuardian". Now when I try and access a certain few web pages I get the error message
"Safari can’t open the page “http://www.abc.net.au/melbourne/” because it could not connect to the server “www.abc.net.au”."
I also find that subscribed podcasts in iTunes from the same source also fail to download.
Thirdly, iCal calandars are refusing to refresh and this problem is also possibly related.

I have tried removing peerGuardian using the apple script "peerSniper". I have also removed all reference to the original two programs in the prefs folder, shut down then restarted the computer. I have also tried clearing the cache in Safari. I can assume that the problem is specific to my powerbook as my iMac on the same network isn't sharing the bad experience.

When I ping said site I get the message "*traceroute: sendto: No route to host"

Any insight appreciated.

I have never used PeerGuardian, but it sure looks like the cause of your trouble from my perusal of the website. Make sure that you have deleted the startup item from library/startupitems. There is a nice thread here: Can you turn Peer Guardian on and off? [Archive] - Phoenix Labs
