BLAME YOUR ISP!!

This sounds very much like a DNS problem... when you go home, try to go to http://24.26.79.61/index.shtml ... if you can see the ironworks forum frontpage; it`s a DNS problem. This means that your ISP have yet to update their servers, and can`t ping some domains.
Also try a ping and tracert of www.ironworksforum.com and 24.26.79.61 in DOS prompt. If you can ping and tracert the IP but not the domain, DNS problem.
If it turns out to be a DNS problem, try to find an alternate DNS setting, from another ISP which is supplied in your country.

Once you have found one, someone here will know better than me how to change your DNS, but I *think* it`s somewhere in control panel.
