I have cable internet with four computers running through a Linksys WRT54G router. I also have a couple of laptops that I use wireless through the router. About 4 days ago I found that I could not access any pages or email through one of my remote hosted websites. I use MS Outlook on my "main" computer for email on my different accounts through this hosted website account. I use Thunderbird on some of the other computers and the laptops for this access. Neither email program works. I have tried pinging and doing a tracert - no pings get returned and the tracert gets hung at the same hop each time.
Originally I just thought this was something flukey going on with the hosted side of things but this morning I unplugged my router from the cable modem, plugged my computer directly in to the modem, restarted the modem and everything worked perfectly. I tried this with a couple of other computers as well and got the same results. So it's clear that I have some kind of routing issue.
I have not changed any settings or added/removed any hardware or software from the network or computers in the past 6-8 months. This is one of those "all of a sudden" things. I did a very preliminary check of my router settings and I didn't see anything that caught my attention.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
