That happened to me recently with another site. SOme people were telling me
they were able to get through, so I contacted my ISP and they went all the
way down the network. IT got fixed at their end after a few days.I am able
to get the Nashbar site, so it's probably some network problem at your ISP.
Update: Why I No Longer Order from Performance/Nashbar
So in looking through my traceroute, I see the packets are hung up in
Qwest's network. My ISP will not have anything to do with it since the
packets are leaving bellsouth's network just fine. So I call Qwest (since
they have no e-mail address for support for non Qwest subscribers). They
tell me even though the packets are bouncing in their network and stopping
there, there's nothing they can do to help me (what a crock of crap from
someone who just does not wanna do their job - hell, it's THEIR network and
the packets are formatted properly, and their network won't send them on...)
So I sent an e-mail to the webmaster at performancebike with the tracert to
tell him that there's more than 1 of us out there who can't get to his web
site, here's some info to help him out, and it will be costing them
business, and here's the tracert and hopefully he, as the owner of the site,
can get someone to help him with it.
So anyway, for inquiring minds....
