2x machines xp home, 1x Belkin ADSL modem with wireless G - router, 1x wireless G - USB network adaptor, Using BT Broadband and IE6.

Ok, having eventually got the router/modem to do what it should and install the wireless part and got that to work as it should everything was running fine. Surfed last night and then again today on both computers until woops, refresh the screen and the site is no longer there. Hmmm, goes down all the usual channels, nope, i am reliably informed that it is still there. Try search engines, manually inputting the URL into the search bar and nothing. Can connect to other sites ok but not this one for some strange reason. Only way i can access this site is by going into tools>options>connections>lan settings using an IP adress and port no and tick the box to bypass proxy addy. Now although second computer can't access the site, it surfs and runs at normal speed, this one i can connect to the site with but is running hellishly slow. Anyone any ideas, i know JJ had the same problems this morning, is it my router, connections, BT or what.
Any help appreciated guys.

Could this be linked to where BT stuffed it's own network??

"BT's broadband service went titsup this afternoon following a massive network failure."
