I'm a bit confused here...

I registered for the free 3 years of webspace from 1and1, and I put up a website last night.

Feel free to look at it (still largely under construction):

Here it is: http://s94615369.onlinehome.us

Also, I got redirecting service so this is another link to the same page: http://gelatinousfury.rules.it

I can access the webpage through BOTH of these links through my laptop and my roomate's computer, but not my desktop!! And to boot, up until about 10 min. ago it would access it perfectly and I haven't changed anything!!

If I click on the link, it searches for a long time, then I get a "page cannot be displayed" mesage. Every other site on the net works though lol!!

What's the deal?

It sounds as if your DNS server for your ISP is messing you around. Try using another DNS server in your connection properties.

Weird. I restarted my computer twice with no luck. On the 3rd restart, everything works now. This makes no sense.

I'm not sure I know exactly what you're talking about DanFraser. Do I still need to do this even if it works now?

I have DSL and right now the option is checked for "Obtain DNS server information automatically".

No you dont need to change them. It sounds like your computer wasnt doing something right.
