If your machine is having problems reaching one website, and is 
fine for everything else, your ISP does not care. 

If you are the only person having problems reaching a website, 
the website probably does not care much. 

That said, the output of these commands may be useful. 

ifconfig -a 
route -n 
cat /etc/resolv.conf 
dig myplaysite.com 
ping -c 10 myplaysite.com 
traceroute myplaysite.com 
wget myplaysite.com
