Problems getting to WebAttack

For quite awhile I've been able to get to WebAttack (www.webattack.com), then within the past two weeks or so, I get the "Cannot find server or DNS error" message. I'm on a LAN at work using IE 6.0 SP1). Though a firewall exists here (a Navy R&D place), I'm not familiar with the in's and out's of this. I assume it isn't this since I was able to get to it before.

I've upgraded from IE 5.5 and know I was able to get to WebAttack with this version, but can't remember if I was getting there with IE 6. I can't imagine something like this would cause a problem (too naive (?)). I really don't want to do an uninstall to 5.5 just to check this out.

Do any of ya'll know if something's going on at WebAttack? Or if it's something else. I can't think of anything else to try.

Thanks for your help

I just checked and the website is up, have you tried a tracert? That woul show you where the ping stops at.

type tracert www.webattack.com

 

Below is what I got from TRACERT:

Can something be gleaned out of this?

 

looks like they've cut you off at their router.

 

Why would they do that? I don't understand.

 

not sure man.. ask the admin. It could be a number of reasons. Could be the title of the website with the word "Attack" in it. who knows.
