BLACKLISTED URL on RT-N13U router

[speeder]

Hi

So I've Googled and didn't find my specific issue. Since purchasing the router(Asus RT-N13U) a month ago I've found it finicky with inconsistent Internet connections but tolerable.

My big issue is that I design websites and I have a site I'm developing www.my-fake-name-site.com. This router cannot access that site, I keep getting server not found in my browsers.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium with an AMD Phenom X4-965 cpu and Asus M4A77D motherboard.

Being close to 60 my brain cells seem to be atrophying at a logarithmic rate
However here is my troubleshooting protocol.


I tried pinging the site but get "Ping request could not find host my-fake-name-site.com".
Using trace route produced some odd results. It won't trace the primary domain name but will trace to a subdomain:

"C:\Users\Me>tracert my-fake-name-site.com
Unable to resolve target system name my-fake-name-site.com.
______________________________________________________________

C:\Users\Me>tracert subdomain-of-my-fake-name-site.com

Tracing route to subdomain-of-my-fake-name-site.com [00.111.111.00]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Trace complete."
And even weirder although it won't trace in Command Prompt but I can trace it in Network-Tools.com????
However I can access the subdomain site?????????????????????

If I give my browser the IP address of domain I can access the Apache intro page but no access if I use the domain name.
I don't think this router likes my primary domain name!!!!!

To eliminate OS issues I tried getting to the site using the OS independant SplashTop browser in Asus's ExpressGate:
1. With the RT-N13U connected can't connect to www.my-fake-name-site.com.
2. With my LinkSys WRT54GL www.my-fake-name-site.com connects fine.
3. With broadband modem cable to computer www.my-fake-name-site.com connects fine.

The same results above happen when I access them in Windows 7.

Installed 1.02 firmware, made sure that DHCP is enabled - also checked routers URL filters - hosts file is in original state - but still can't access www.my-fake-name-site.com.
I'm stumped!
Any ideas?
Thanks

I can't access that site either with Windows 7 and my D-link router. For me it says that Internet Explorer Cannot display the web page. Have you tried to relax the security settings in Explorer? Have you tried using a different DNS server?

My apologies but I can't make the URL public so I used a fake name in my thread. I would be willing to PM the site though. Yes I have tried your suggestions but as my Linksys "G" router and NO router at all can see the site I'm thinking it has to be the ASUS router?

Thanks for the reply.

Well I changed my DNS servers from auto to manual and entered my ISP providers DNS server addresses. It worked for

a couple of hours and now I am back not being able to connect to the site.
I DON'T understand what kind of firmware programming would hang itself on a domain name!
WEIRD

STRANGE, still can't access the domain name but typing in the IP address gets me the Apache Cpanel page.

HOWEVER - there is a subdomain that I can ping, trace and access through a browser.

I just don't understand how it can access the subdomain and not the main domain ????????????????????
