    Yeah I'm really thinking it has something to do with your antivirus. You might try uninstalling it and seeing if you can go to the page and then reinstalling it. I have had to do it before with AVG.
    Uninstalled Avast and rebooted. No change. But it was a good excuse to install the new Avast 6 beta!

    Sometimes changing your dns servers to opendns will help get to those websites without any problem....
    Thats the funny part. I've always used OpenDNS. I've tried changing back to Comcasts DNS servers and I've tried Comodo's DNS servers. Nothing seems to help except if I proxy through TOR.

    Hmmm yeah I get the same thing. Sorry. what antivirus program are you running?
    Avast. Wierd thing is its the same on my laptop, but it connects fine.
    Most likely they block Pings to avoid falling victim to DOS attacks

    Try the following for me: put in the browsers URL

    The World's Most Advanced Business Jet Aircraft - Gulfstream
    see if that works.
    Maybe theres a bug in your DNS processing.

    I tried both their primary and secondary URL's as gleaned from a WHOIS lookup. I get the same results. Its strange that my laptop gets there fine but not my desktop. But from this thread, it looks like there are a few others that can't view the site either. Not sure I have the patience to figure this one out!
