Have you tried a traceroute to the site?

Maybe it's a problem between your ISP and the site.

Umm... my guess would be, bad router?

:)

Sorry, didn't want to resist.

This may help you understand what's going on...

Thanks Simon
I'll do some research on it.

Its possible (and I do recall their site being one of the targeted ones in a certain 'loved' toolbar that is 'voluntarily' installed) that your machine is going to a different address that has been hijacked. And, that hijacked IP is not responding due to a recent takedown of a certain country's favorite ISP.


tsavo:~ mcd$ host fetishhits.com
fetishhits.com has address 216.127.40.231


When you ping fetishhits.com (even though it times out) is that the IP address that you receive?

If not, you will definitely want to scan your machine for spyware/trojans and 'voluntarily' installed toolbars.

The first time that happened to me, I discovered that cycling my router and cable modem fixed the problem (discovered by way of a power outage :D).

I've had something like this before where I think I went to thehun and my webroot spysweeper popped up with an error that said this page is known for malicious scripts or something like that and it asked me if I wanted to block it and I said yes because I was thinking there was an install trying to happen but instead, it was generated from a database and blocked the page. So every time I went to the hun, it wouldn't come up. There is a long text file that webroot has to block domains and ips based on user approval. I know this is getting long winded, but my point is, maybe your spyware flagged the page and asked you to block it and that's what happened...it's just food for thought...

Might want to try an easy cyclcing of the modem/router and a reboot of the PC
