Does it work with other browsers?
 
The site was down at different times during the night. If you are still experiencing problems let us know. Just make sure you are actually entering the www in front of the address. www.computerforum.com

I'm thinking it's your DNS. Hold down the Windows Button and press R, then type CMD into the window and click OK. In the black box, type in IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS and press Enter. Then, type in NETSH INT IP RESET RESETLOG.TXT and press Enter. After it goes to the next line, type in NETSH WINSOCK RESET and press Enter. It will tell you to reboot the PC. Try the site again. Cheers.

Hmm, I think you were right about looking at the router. It's possible a rule was created that denies access to this block of WAN IPs, but if you didn't set it up, I have no idea how it would have been applied. So, next step is to log into the router and see if that type of rule exists. Cheers.

Haha good deal. I don't like it when the fix isn't clearly defined, but at least it's working. Cheers.
