WTF Comcast!

that's impossible.

I can view AZB with comcast and have been able to for a year.

The only way comcast would say that (unless they were just trying to get rid of you) is perhaps there was a trunk line down between the AZB host server and your ISP (but HIGHLY doubtful).

What browser are you using? You said you have an apple computer, I'm pretty sure this will be a browser issue.

try pinging azbilliards.com through a command line (unless you are using OSX, in which case I have no idea how to ping)


I am using safari but I even took my computer back to the Apple store at Apples request (Apple has been much more helpful to show me that the problem is not on their end) and they installed thee other browsers and the forums came right up but not at my house.
 
Comcast is just being lazy.

That is BS. No website is incompatible with an ISP. Data is data.

You're running a Mac, as am I, so try this:
Open up a Finder window, go to "Applications" (under the "Places" heading on the left), then "Utilities", and "Network Utility". Choose the "Traceroute" function, and plug in "azbilliards.com" and start it up.

Once it's done (and it may not fully complete, we'll see), copy the results and save them to a text file. As it seems you're having trouble reaching AZB from home, email yourself that text file where you can get it later (like from work - I assume that's where you're posting from), and then post the results.

Do the same with "forums.azbilliards.com" as well - they're separate boxes on different networks (note the vastly different IP addresses below).

Then once that's done, check out this article:
http://forums.macnn.com/92/networking/121363/whats-mac-equivalent-hosts-file-windows/

and plug in a couple of entries on your machine using these domains and IP addresses:

azbilliards.com: 140.99.28.10
forums.azbilliards.com: 69.16.142.150

and then see if you can't hit the sites with a browser.

If that works, compare the IP addresses in your traceroutes with the IP addresses listed just above. If they're different, then it's likely the cause is faulty info in the DNS servers you're using. They're telling your computer to look in the wrong place for the sites you're after. Plugging in the info above as described in the article I linked above basically short-circuits this problem.

I will try that, Thanks to veryone for the help!
