Seems to be working fine now....might have been temporary network traffic or something. I once couldn't reach a group of websites I maintain, all across country from me, but I could reach anything else I wanted. I called the hosting company and they said all was fine, then asked if I was calling from California because they'd gotten a few calls that day saying people couldn't reach their sites. I tried pinging the site and the trace route ended on a Sprint (at the time) line in Memphis. I called tech support for my cable internet provider and told them what I was seeing....turns out Sprint had a switch go bad in Memphis - they replaced it within an hour and everything was fine. Goes to illustrate how the Internet is just one enormous network and problems can arise from time to time. Nothing's perfect, heh!
