Help! Can't connect to Newegg!

For some reason, I lost the ability to connect to www.Newegg.com. I can go to any other web site on the internet, but I get the standard "Cannot find server" message for Newegg.com. Very strange. Any ideas what is going on? Is this a sign that I'm spending too much there?

I have rebooted, tried different browsers, and done everything I can think of. Only thing I haven't messed with is the router and its settings. Could the router somehow be blocking my access to newegg.com? BTW, I was somehow able to get onto a *secure.newegg.com* page, but it wouldn't let me browse from there.

My system:
Win XP pro SP1, IE 6, Opera 7
KR7A-RAID w/ 1700+
Cable Modem + Linksys wireless router

Thanks in advance
 

OK, finally figured out the problem, but still don't have a solution. I recently installed the Threedegrees for MSN Messenger and the Windows XP Peer-to-Peer Update. Home Page I guess it hosed something in IE 6:

"But the experience quickly turned sour for many who were left with broken Internet connectivity or an inability to reach certain Web sites including those of AOL and retailer NewEgg.com" --BetaNews Link to article

So, I uninstalled it. Rebooted. Still can't access Newegg.com.

Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
