G'day everyone - as some of you may know, I also administer a sports (cricket and football ie soccer) forum - the ESPNSTAR sports forum (ESPNSTAR is a joint venture between ESPN and Star Sports in Asia). We recently (as in a month ago) moved our forum to a new hosting provider and changed our domain to
www.espnstar360.com (my username there is OZGOD).
My problem is, I used to be able to access this forum until about a couple of weeks ago - all of a sudden I started to get a "page is taking too long to load" error with both Firefox and IE7 from my home IP address. I found that I can access the site by using an anonymous proxy or if I am elsewhere from home, but from home I cannot. Obviously there's a problem with my IP, and I suspect it has something to do with DNS.
Here is my tracert of the site (the IP is 66.7.203.240):

[/QUOTE]I have spoken to Comcast but they seem to think it's not their problem. Can anyone provide any suggestions as to what to do?
