That ip agrees with what I found. The thing is I can access 
Fedoraforum at work through a comcast modem with no trouble. 
I've tried the google dns and opendns without success so far.

Is there any possibility that my dd-wrt router could be 
blocking a single address w/o me actively blocking a 
particular site? Since I'm bridged that is the direction the 
finger is going to point when comcasts tech comes so I'd 
really like to nip that in the bud.
