Problems accessing forums

Starting in the middle of last week, I was unable to access the MacRumors forums or the daily poll on the main page when on the wireless network at home (the connection times out after sixty seconds). I'm using a Belkin wireless router with WEP enabled and DHCP disabled. I have a 12" iBook with AirPort and I'm using Safari 1.0.

I don't think that it's related to Safari because for the first couple of days that I had Safari 1.0, it worked fine. Furthermore, I can access the polls and forums just fine at the office where I use a wired Ethernet connection.

Any ideas?

It just doesn't load. I click on the link, and the status bar says "Connecting to forums.macrumors.com..." Sixty seconds later, an error message pops up that says "Couldn't connect to forums.macrumors.com after trying for sixty seconds."

In short, the page simply won't load.

Nothing's wrong with the AirPort connection. If there were, then I wouldn't be able to use the Internet at all. Not sure about the ISP angle, but I doubt it.

I'll do that when I get home, but what will a ping tell me?

Well, I went ahead and pinged forums.macrumors.com and got no reply. I did a traceroute to the same address, and the traceroute never got past my DSL modem. Very peculiar indeed. Has anybody got any ideas?

I've tried refreshing. Nothing seems to work.

More information on the problem:

The iMac that's hooked up to the same wireless router via an Ethernet cable also cannot connect to forums.macrumors.com. I was wondering if maybe the forums uses a different port that I need to unblock in the router. At any rate, if nobody has any idea what the deal is, that's cool. I'll just have to check the forums at work.
