    Alrighty... Check the status page on your router and see what its DNS servers are. Alternatively, if you have an extra router, swap it and see if the problem goes away. Either your router's DNS cache, or the upstream DNS servers it uses, have some bogus information.

    Oh, and here's a band-aid fix. Fire up Notepad and open this file:

    c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

    Add the following line to the file, then save it and restart your browsers:

    216.22.24.94 mmb.maverick.to maverick.to

    Duh...I went back and did what you said the first time. Musta missed it. The Flushdns part, and restarting the router.

    Hasn't happened today, but it sorta comes and goes...
