asp.net forums - where did they go?

Question
-
Until Monday 10/18/10 I used the www.asp.net url to access video, tutorials and forum pages. Now the url and any associated with asp.net returns a
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
error. The same thing occurs with every computer in the house, different users and different routers.
What has changed with the asp.net sites?

The site opens fine for me. It could have been a temp problem, can you re-try?

Comcast says they don't block any sites.
Mozilla - Connection Timed out
Safari could not open the page “http://www.asp.net/” because the server is not responding.
Google Chrome could not connect.
I'll try a system restore.

The answer was my internet provider - Comcast. I took my pc to a local wifi hotspot and connected fine to asp.net over AT&T's connection so I knew it wasn't my machine. I called Comcast who said they had downloaded a patch to my modem over the weekend. They quickly dialed in and reset a switch on the modem and I was back to normal.
Thanks Naom for your help.
