Entwood - what is your current IP - if its a new range thats recently been allocated, a lot of routers on the big, bad internet will not route it. Just one of those things.

Oh, and....

C:\Users\me>tracert www.omegaowners.com

Tracing route to www.omegaowners.com [217.155.56.220]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    <1 ms     1 ms    <1 ms  217.155.56.220

Trace complete.

Dynamic IP so a new one every router reboot .. present one is

IP : 92.6.107.103
gateway : 92.6.92.1
primary DNS server : 92.31.241.20

no probs , any temporary ip is ok (they remain same until you close the router).. important part is try those sites that you cant reach..  you can ping them with their names and find the ips..

ping www.somewhereelse.com so you can find the ip

also you can test with different dns ips we gave yesterday

My personal experience of similar symptoms (apparently random failure to connect to some websites) was caused by a fix I had applied years ago and forgotten about.

I had been struggling to get DNS working automatically and had entered manual settings for the DNS servers. It had worked fine for years but I assume that after my provider (Nildram) was absorbed into the Tiscali/Talk Talk/Opal/CWH
empire they eventually switched off the DNS servers I was using. I updated the DNS server settings and it seems OK now 

In my case I am using a Linux box as a home gateway so the details are different but the cause may be the same.

The DNS servers on AOHell are set to automatic ..  but I've been trying the alternate ones given above ... no success so far ..

Given what TB said earlier .. if I put a www.........  into the system it gets resolved to a dns number instantly .. so I'm guessing the DNS servers are OK ... it all seems to collapse with the routing .. as tracert starts but runs out before connecting ..

EDIT ..

Even tried these ...

It will do as you will inevitably hit a firewall at some point that will more than likely drop ping traffic.

You can prove the site connectivity by telneting (Assuming you aren't using Vista or Win7) to it on port 80 or 443 for secure.

You can also use nslookup to find out which DNS server you are really connected to.

Well ... seems I was wrong ....  or AOHell have fixed it in the last 2 hours !!   :0

Been to Taxi Driver's (Thanks Dave) and picked up his spare modem/router .. connected it in (presently by ethernet as the wireless config seems to be unhappy ... it wants to use a 10 digit key, my system wants to use a 13 digit one !!) and all sites now work.

I'll try the belkin again later (got to go out for a couple of hours) but looks like it was the modem/router all the time ..

Thanks again to Dave for his help

I would try a different modem and a different lappy which is not yours..

and try "tracert www.somewhereelse.com" from cmd line
will show you where it hangs

ehem..

Glad it seems to prove it was your router.......unless you've had time to try your router again....

As far as the wireless problem.....remember the router can only do WEP encryption....so to temp solve the wireless prob, i suggest turning off encryption......promise i wont pull up outside and start downloading dodgey sites
