Cannot connect to: www.pistonheads.com

I am having problems connecting to the website: www.pistonheads.com from home on my PlusNet account. I know the site is up and working as I can connect at work (on a different ISP), or at home though a VPN connection to work.
I can ping www.pistonheads.com from both locations fine, both displaying the same IP address.
Any ideas? Huh
Cheers,
Stephen

Not much help, but I'm unable to access it from my work connection.

This is pretty odd, I can't view it from here or my home (PN) connection, James can't view it from here. Liam (non-PN) and Bob (PN) can both view it from home connections.

There are a few people on there reporting the same issue in their 'Website Feedback' forum (in the "Vixpy in trouble..." thread). Very strange.

So it doesn't appear to be ISP specific? They may have altered a DNS setting and it's still propagating around.

Yep, certainly doesn't seem like it's limited to PN connections.

Re: Cannot connect to: www.pistonheads.com

Ditto.  I think pistonheads may have been having a problem or made a DNS change that needs time to propagate, as previously stated.  It certainly doesn't seem to be Plusnet related.
