I can't help but I have a similar problem that's been killing me for almost 3
weeks. I run www.blackstoneclub.com, and mid-afternoon one day, for no
apparent reason, I lost my FTP access to it. Then within 24 hours or so, I
lost my Web access to the site, too. Ever since, I've gotten timeouts on the
FTP, and Page Cannot Be Displayed errors on the Web. The site works fine,
and FTP access from all other computers is fine. I can't ping the server but
my Web hosting company says they disabled ping, and tracert does work, though
it takes a while to make the connection.
I've checked the hosts file, run several anti-spyware and anti-hijacker
programs, even reinstalled XP SP2. Nothing. Any additional suggestions
would be appreciated.

Ben, one little thing you can do in the meantime, by the way, is
www.net2ftp.com. That does work for me.
