I had issues with some sites a while ago. It turned out to be a
poisoned DNS server lookup table.
Oops just tired it --- putting in linux.org failed, but
http://www.linux.org did not!!!
Yes, note the different IPs returned by pinging linux.org and
www.linux.org. A lot of people just don't type the "www" part,
because if you just type the "linux.org" part and it's not found,
then the browser automatically prepends "www." and trys again.
Also, many sites have the "www.abc.xyz" in DNS point to the same
server as "abc.xyz". However, in this case, linux.org returns a
valid IP address, there just isn't a web server there, so nothing
happens...
Well, I still can't get to the site, no matter what address I use :-(

What happens if you click on this link: http://198.182.196.56/
(or just copy/paste or type it in) ?
The following error message;
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 198.182.196.56.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again
in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy,
make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Also tried other computers on my LAN with Firefox, Opera & IE. None of
them are able to connect either :-(

I had a recent problem where the router had characters that seemed to be
either another language or random trash within the dhcp tables on the
LAN side. I was not able to see the net from linux but my wife using XP
had no problems connecting.
To fix my problem, I had to set my IP in linux manually within the range
the router allowed and enter the IP for the router, then reset the
router to factory settings.
I doubt that your problem is due to a corrupted dhcp client table on
your router, but just in case you have a similar cause.
