Default Problem Solved

After spending all day on the phone with my ISP to find out why I can't access this and only this website, they tell me this forum's ISP (the server's) is blocking my IP for some reason. I haven't been able to access this site since approximately 11 PM EST last night and they're telling me there's nothing they can do, the problem is with smith-wessonforum.com, not them. I'm only able to visit and post this now by using a web proxy. I suspect if I'm being randomly blocked, others are as well.

Thumbs up Solved

Good news. My ISP was talking about a DNS problem this morning but didn't tell me anything about it. I just did some Googling and found I could do what is called a DNS flush, which I just did, and now everything seems to be working fine. I have no idea why the techs I talked to didn't suggest this, but in any case, everything appears to be OK now.
