OK, now it sounds more like a subnet mask problem.  If you can get to 
some sights on the Net but not others, it usually means some machine 
between here and there has a bad routing table or subnet mask.  I 
noticed both of the names above resolved to 12.x.x.x addresses.  What's 
the Internet IP of your DNS server?  Can you post some tracert data or 
routing tables?
