For the past several days, we have been unable to get to worldofwarcraft.com. We have a mixed Mac/PC home network, some hardwired and some wireless via a Linksys router. Trying to navigate to the site generates a "server not responding" or similar error.

I have tried firewalls on/off, and direct connecting to the cable modem (no router), wiping cache/cookies, restarting, different browsers. No luck. I am able to get to the site from a work computer (it is a different ISP/location). We are connected at home through Charter.

Before I get to bugging Charter/Blizzard, I thought I would check here to see if anyone has suggestions/diagnoses for the problem.

Thanks,

Dan

I have Earthlink/Covad DSL. The last two nameservers are Earthlink's ad-nasty nonconforming redirectors (you end up at an ad-heavy site with no hope of success).
The first is the non-redirecting nameserver for east of the Mississippi. The 4.2.2.x are
the GTE/genuity virtual name servers. This setup works for me. YMMV.
