Tried the IP and it took me to a text page that was NewEgg related. Clicked on their "NewEgg.com" link and I still get a "cannot find server" message. This happens with FF and Explorer. Very weird.

I think this means one of my ISP's servers is not resolving domain names properly....I am guessing?

You are cruel. Cruel I say! :) I will try clearing all cookies and cache and see what happens. What is disturbing is that it is happening with both FF and Explorer.

Its messed up here also. Sometimes it will give me "can't find url.." page and even on the secure page also. Been that way since yesterday.

Hey guys. Just got off the phone with RCN (my ISP). There is a problem with a server hop just before NewEgg when you happen to get routed in that particular direction (like me). We troubleshot the issue by manually assigned DNS servers routing me out to California (I live in Chicago) and then then back to NYC and out again. NewEgg resolves with this procedure.

It is not NewEgg, nor is it your ISP. It is some other ISP that fcked up their DNS cache or something along those lines a couple of days ago. My ISP is now calling that ISP.
