Hi
I have this on going issue with one of our domains over the past few months only.
the domain Willows Consulting - web developers is accessible from a magnet router but not a upc router or eircom router.
The domain is 10 years old and was moved about 12 months ago so the dns should be propagated by now !
I am no networking guru and I am getting conflicting messages from the hoster and the network providers.
The domain is registered with dotster in the states and has been there since inception.
The hosting was changed 1 year ago.
The named servers were changed on the domain.
I have a sneaking suspicion there is some sort of precedence issue on the domain the present hoster is not far enough up the chain.
Below are the traceroutes from the server where I cannot view my own website from .
My ip address of my router is 109.255.173.14
The trace route to www.willows-consulting.com reads

This is starting to look like a routing issue with the hoster,
I have rebooted the local router and reset it to factory settings and this has made no difference. Not that I could ask my clients to do this every time they need to access my website.
I can access the site from magnet networks, and my iphones tethered connection.

So I am asking the good DNS genius's out there to have a look and if they have seen this issue before and solved it to let me know.
Many thanks for taking the time to read all the details.
