Please someone help me this is driving me nuts. i have a dlink 615 router with ddwrt on it. ive went to this website with this router for over 2 weeks now no problems. i accessed the site today no problem and then all the sudden i cant access it anymore. i can access it when i have my computer plugged directly into the modem tho. i have factory reset my router, even reflashed the ddwrt firmware with no luck. i have no firewalls and have not touched a single setting for this to all the sudden happen. i also seen when i try to ping the site through cmd it wont even ping it. is it possible this site banned my MAC address of the router? please any help with be nice

Does it work for other computers on wifi?

try opening command prompt and typing "ipconfig /flushdns"
check you havent accidentally specified a manual dns server in your wireless connection properties.
try pinging the website
e.g "ping www.google.com"
if you can ping it try putting the ip address shown in your web browser instead of the url
try a factory reset of your web browser.
check the contents of your "hosts file" (google this) and make sure there are no dodgy entries.
try another web browser.

assuming your router doesn't have parental controls on it it is most likely an issue with the laptop.
Dare I ask what the site is?
