Hi,
I hope this problem is appropriate in this forum, and here goes. Today all of a sudden I am unable to access a particular working website on any computer on my home network, through my router. Also a software application that uses information based on this website is unable to work properly because it can't connect to the website. I have been accessing the website for months without a problem previously. I tried connecting to the website using a proxy server via vtunnel.com and it worked fine.
I am 99.9% certain the issue lies within my router.
Could anyone help me sort this out?
[EDIT - RESOLVED]
I appreciate all the responses from the several posts below, they were very helpful. Following one piece of advice suggested below I flushed my DNS and it fixed the issue. I am able to access eveonline.com through my web browser and programs are able to reach the server now.
Cheers!

It's eveonline.com. When I perform a traceroute I get the following results:
c:\>tracert eveonline.com
Unable to resolve target system name eveonline.com.
I don't know how to bypass my router to the modem because I am pretty sure my router is my modem as well. -
^^^ Does eveonline require ports to be open to work properly; like steam? I have a firewall built into my verizon router/modem and once in a while I can not use steam unless I turn off the firewall or set up port forwarding again.
Are you able to turn off the firewall and try the site?
Not sure if this will help

Hope this helps, Josea -
Without sounding like a fool
Have you tried a simple site like this to check it?
Is it up?

Try:
ping 87.237.39.196
Also, try visiting http://87.237.39.196/ and see if it loads.
Also open the file c:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and see if it has any lines with 87.237.39.196 or eveonline.com. -
Try flushing your DNS first.
cmd > ipconfig /flushdns
If that doesnt work try change your DNS to OpenDNS or Google DNS (8.8.8.8) -
Thank you!
