If your IP was blocked, you would get a message saying that your IP was
blocked and explaining why.

Can you reach:
http://66.13.172.18/techref/piclist/index.htm ? If so, the problem is DNS.

Can you reach:
http://www.quickstepper.com ? If so, the problem is with the headers sent
back by the PICList site. Quickstepper is on the same site but is a very
simple, "out of the box" configuration of IIS. PICList has a batch of stuff
installed. Why some people can deal with it and other can't is an ongoing
mystery. It may be caused by a problem with some node in the route between
your ISP and mine, or by your browser, or god knows what.

If you can't reach any of them, your ISP or something between your ISP and
mine is messed up. They will never believe this, but you can prove it to
them by using a proxy server on another network. 

For example:
http://www.the-cloak.com/Cloaked/+cfg=32/http://www.piclist.com/techref/picl
ist/index.htm After you click on this link, it will ask you for some
configuration info and you should check the URL in the lower left corner to
ensure it is still http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist/index.htm
(sometimes the "http:" turns into "http%3A" or the "//" becomes a "/") then
press the "Start Surfing" button. 

If you see the web site, search the page for the text "local time: " and
make a note of the servers clock setting. It should show PDT (Pacific
Daylight Time) or PST after daylight savings ends.

Hit refresh and verify that it is changing.

If you see the web site, and the time is updating, the web server is UP. If
you cant see the site directly, then your ISP, or their upstream and nothing
else, is the problem. Do a tracert and email it to your ISP's tech support
along with your findings and this email.
