Sounds like a nameserver issue or other dns problem
i have been having connection issues with DNS. so i thought i would mention this "it can take up to three days sir for your DNS to update so why don't you call us back if you are still having issues" - Time Warner Cable i have no idea what it is im going to say and/or do when/if the technician comes here...not sure what to do. :^)

Not being able to connect to *one* new domain's website is a dns updating issue, not being able to connect to *any* domains but being able to connect directly via IP address is a complete dns failure. Either you have a misconfigured DNS server address or their DNS server is down, simple as that if you can connect directly stating only an IP address.

So my internet at home is "down". but not really. I can play online games, but web sites do not load. in a tracert i have 75% time out. all ping commands time out. but at least i can play counterstrike i guess with a pretty good ping... so i call my ISP (Time Warner Cable/Road Runner) Suggestions from the Gal on the Phone: "push the standby button...then push it again" - TWC "you want me to turn the stand by mode on and off?" - Me "yes" - TWC "sir let's go ahead and switch the ethernet cord around. take the end in the computer and plug it into the modem and take the end from the modema and plug it in to the computer" - TWC "really?" - Me i started drinking about this point. "sir, is your firewall on? if it is, you might have to turn off your firewall to get to the internet" - TWC conversation ended. :( i called back and eventually got elevated in "request" level and a technician will be out tuesday afternoon.

When I was using TWC, I always immediately requested Tier2, and I told them why - "I don't have time to deal with a curry-slurping script-monkey" - usually that was all I had to say to get "elevated".
