I've been trying to reach the website www.usaconservation.org but can't do so. To attempt to solve the problem so far I have changed my dns server and turned off my firewall. I can access the website through a proxy but not from any browser not using a proxy.

100% packet loss for pings

Can't trace route to server:

"Traceroute has started…

traceroute to www.usaconservation.org (216.251.43.17), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
traceroute: sendto: No route to host
1 traceroute: wrote www.usaconservation.org 52 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: No route to host
traceroute: wrote www.usaconservation.org 52 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: No route to host
traceroute: wrote www.usaconservation.org 52 chars, ret=-1

traceroute: wrote www.usaconservation.org 52 chars, ret=-1
*traceroute: sendto: No route to host
traceroute: wrote www.usaconservation.org 52 chars, ret=-1
"​

What's going on? Any other things I should try?

the IP it should be looking for according to my nslookup is;

Server: cache1.service.virginmedia.net
Address: 194.168.4.100

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.usaconservation.org
Address: 216.251.43.17

If yours shows a different IP then it could indicate a DNS issue or even a simple entry in your /etc/hosts file

----------

can you try the site by putting the IP address in your browser instead of the URL?
 
Hey sorry for the censor I thought it was mine for some reason...dont know why..

My traceroute shows the same ip address.

I tried typing in the ip address into my browser but it still gives me the same error.
"Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 216.251.43.17"​
 
can you Ping the address? what does nslookup on the www give you?

What DNS Servers are you using?

(if not already give googles a go 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
