Re: Weird PING/DNS issue

I assume this is your home PC. Are you using the same DNS as your
neighbors? Try switching to a different DNS server (you don't have to use
your ISP's, try the ones listed at www.opendns.org: 208.67.222.222 &
208.67.220.220 ). If it still resolves wrong, then the problem is in your
set (er, PC). Check your hosts file, that would be the simplest. Just
remove any line for godaddy in there, but that would also imply that you
are infected with spyware. If not the hosts file, then something more
wicked is in place. I have seen a PC where 5 virus scanners, and three
adware removers and a manual scan with HIJACKTHIS could not find anything
wrong, and only a wipe and reload was able to clear it up. DNS hijacking
seems to be on the rise, IMHO.

I'm having quite an interesting day today with a certain website. It's
not
my site (oh heck, it's godaddy.com's site).

PINGs to it seem to be resolving to the wrong IP address. From my
iSeries,
and all my PCs. I've checked all my hosts files, etc and there's nothing
there. The only common denominator here is my router and my ISPs DNS
servers. So I'm not sure where to look next.

I've tried using online PINGs and those resolve to the correct IP for
godaddy.com. I've tried using anonymous surf tools, and they all work.
But
from any PC or and my iSeries they all resolve to the wrong address.

It all started last night when I would get their homepage just fine, but
any
page after that would error out. Now today, I get this weird page that
looks like 1/2 of a PDF viewer (www.stoneip.com/temp/test.jpg).

I know there are a lot of network gurus on here, so I'm desparate for help
and apologize in advance if this post is out of line. I just don't know
where to look next (calling my ISP is my next step).

Any other site seems to be working fine. Just Godaddy.com is resolving to
a
completely wrong IP address. Tried a neighbor's PC today on the same ISP
and seemed to work fine for them.
