I can't get a hit either from Wood Grafing's link or any of the links in
Google to the various pages on that site.

Perhaps it's fallen off some DNS, but still on some others?

Perhaps it's an IP problem?

That would be my guess but I'm a little shaky on such matters.

It would appear that it has, as suspected, gotten dropped out of some DNSs.
I just opened a command window and attempted to do a tracert to
www.exceltip.com and was promptly informed that the name could not be
resolved. That basically means that my DNS has 'never heard of'
www.exceltip.com -

Now, if someone has the actual IP of the site available, you could try a
tracert or ping to the IP to see if the site is alive and all that's happened
is that there has become a DNS issue with its domain name.

Gord, since it's working for you (not for me), could you go to a command
window and try
Ping www.exceltip.com[Enter]
or
tracert www.exceltip.com
and see what is reported as the IP for the site? Then we others can try
going direct without DNS to see if it is only a DNS problem or if somehow our
routing to the site has become interrupted.

This is a recent development - I just double-checked by clicking a link to
their site in one of their 'news letters' which usually works just fine, only
to find it's dead in the water - confirming the DNS part of the problem at
least.

And this is a case pretty much at the DNS level - the error is "cannot
resolve name" rather than server not found.

Seems the DNS has gotten itself straightened out -- link now works directly
for me, using either the URL of www.exceltip.com or IP of 208.69.121.221 - so
nothing can really be tested by me now, doggon it.

I guess all's well that ends up connecting.

Next time your DSL acts up, tell your ISP that a tracert to your gateway
shows 100% packet loss and that pings aren't being echoed and that latency is
infinite. Scares the b'jezuz out of Level I techs and you get to talk to
Level 2 right away.
Sometimes it's not what you know, but what you say <g
