Robert, you are probably on to something here. Some of what you suggested I could not check because of the way DOS works in my Windows 98 SE verses the operating system you're using, however:

My Primary DNS: ns5.westlin.com 207.70.170.70
My Secondary DNS: ns6.westlin.com 207.70.190.10

I'm not that knowledgeable in all this so I didn't fully comprehend everything you said, but let me throw out some more clues here in hopes you or someone else may be able to pinpoint the problem.
The first and most notable difference is the way in which my site comes up when I changed the name in the address bar to jerseyspeedskiffs.com verses www.jerseyspeedskiffs.com. The canonical name (jerseyspeedskiffs.com) at first works, but after going through each link on the site one time it won't load those pages again. The back button will take me back though. Changing the address in the address bar back to the alias (www.jerseyspeedskiffs.com) sometimes makes it come up again, sometimes, maybe. It's pretty darn screwy. Whenever I try accessing my site via a link from another website or a search engine, it won't come up. Again this only happens when accessing MY website and not a problem if I use AOL.
A correction on my earlier observations about using my daughters computer. Since I didn't spend much time on it at first when everything seemed to be OK, I decided to go back and check more thoroughly for a problem. I've now found that her computer experiences the same problem as mine and like mine has no problems if going through AOL.
So now, where does all this leave me? Comcast problem? Router/modem problem?
HOSTS.SAM file problem? The only deterrent to fully investigating the HOSTS files is that on my computer I inadvertently deleted notepad some six to eight months ago so I'll have to work on getting that back or find an alternative for viewing those .sam files. Even when I find out how to fix this mess the question that will remain is: how did all this happen in the first place.
Please keep the suggestions and advice coming, I need all the help I can get.
Thanks
