I don't know what a nslookup is nor do I know what a traceroute is.  I 
don't have a firewall on this machine, do have spybot and windows 
defender and avast, but I think I've disabled these, but not sure I'm 
really getting them turned off.  I can ping the address 72.46.157.51 and 
get a response on this machine, but don't get an answer from 
blindbargains.com.  I got the address from pinging blindbargains on 
another machine.  All are behind the same router, and so far, this is 
the only page that does't work.  Oddly enough, if I go to google and do 
a search for blindbargains and try to go there from google, I can't get 
there either.  I also replaced the hosts file on this machine with no 
difference.  Any other ideas welcome.  I'm kind of dumb when it comes to 
this sort of thing.
