(There does appear to be a DNS registration problem independent of your computer. A dotted decimal IP address found from a lookup of a URI should not result in a different site being found when it is used.)

Post what you see, what operating system you are using, and what firewall you are using (software (e.g. Zonealarm) and/or hardware (e.g. wireless router)), and let's see if we can't figure this out.
The dotted address just showed me the "Internet explorer cannot find the webpage" screen. We recently switched from a local IP to Comcast WiFi. I tried using my wife's laptop with the same results.

My PC uses the Microsoft firewall as well as McAfee (hasn't been updated in a year or so, though)....

This is my last day at work until August 18th, so I'm out for awhile after today....
