Connections from other servers (anonymizer.com) work fine, however, so I know the server is up. My questions are:
1) Why is the trace going in an infinate loop?
2) Why would it only happen to this server and not the many others I connect to?
3) Is heatware.elitehardware.com down right now, or would that be me again?

dunno, maybe they dont like you

try typing in only the IP address of the site. Thatw ill definitely gert you there.

It loaded for me, just took its time.

Loaded for me right away, probably a routing issue with your ISP.

Heatware's working fine for me as well.

I'd say your ISP is having troubles.

Worked fine for me too. It looks like a problem with your ISP. Put in an AOL cd and all will be fine
