Problems by name or also by IP addresses?
What about Telnet on ports 21, 80, or 110? Using IP address?
(Netcat is better for such tests but not included on Windows systems.)

Why? Is this ONLY a DNS issue or also an IP problem?
Does this connect (substitute your IP): http://68.178.144.167

Why? If it's a DNS issue the router is unlikely to have any
bearing....

What site so we can check it too?

Not if you can tracert to it by using the name.
But this also mostly eliminates your router and other connectivity
issues (unless there is some odd filter) that lets ICMP (ping, tracert)
through but blocks more common ports (http, ftp, pop.)

What proxies do you have, any?
What happens when you use:
telnet SITE_IP 80
(blank screen is GOOD)
GET / HTTP/1.0 <enter><enter>
(No backspaces or typing mistakes allowed usually)

I saw one of these the other day (remotely helping someone in India) and
all normal checks failed to resolve it, but we aren't close to that yet.

What specifically do you type? What specific errors do you receive?
Try IP versus DNS name in the IE URL edit box.
