Very interesting (and I consider myself fairly fluent in the ways of the World Wide Web).. lol.. Ron, I had already flushed the DNS cache as you suggested. I occasionally get customers to do that when they call me with complaints that they can't get to a certain web address, ie clear your temp internet files and as you suggested flush the DNS... No diff there and keep in mind this is on 3 computers all attached to my router, 2 wireless and my server hard wired.
Buddy, you bring up an interesting point. I can ping the 70.87.12.170 address just fine and I can ping the DNS address
www.pokerforumcanada.ca (shows above IP address) but when I ping the pokerforum.ca DNS I get host not found... Hmmm... My router? When I get around to it I'll try a spare router..
Tracert shows the same thing, hosted at planet.com
