I cant open codinghorror.com in any of my browsers (IE, Firefox & Chrome). Chrome gives this error msg:

Error 109 (net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE): Unknown error

What could be the problem? Im running Win XP if that matters.

EDIT:
I can browse all websites except codinghorror.com.
In fact Im writing this question from the same machine & browser Im using to open codinghorror. So theres absolutely no problem with internet connectivity. And I also enabled TCP/IP version-6 but the site just doesnt open.

EDIT2: I used http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/.
So definitely the site isnt down.
Any other option other than resetting the router?

Wow, that's one bad rollback if you'd ask me. For your information: I voted to close as off-topic before I decided to edit to make it look less off-topic. Sorry, just tried to help you. – Arjan May 9 '10 at 10:36
@Arjan, see edit2. Its now confirmed that the site isnt down. So the question now fall backs obviously to "why" wont it open for me? – Zaki May 9 '10 at 10:41
There's still a lot of noise in that question, in my opinion. But well, it's up to you. Good luck. – Arjan May 9 '10 at 10:46

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Indeed, given the first and current revision of the question: this is the answer. No, codinghorror.com is not down. Seems this must the accepted answer then. ;-) – Arjan May 9 '10 at 10:38

Wanted to post this but he accessed the page with an error. That means its not down already. – Shiki May 9 '10 at 10:50
@Fujishiro, see the earlier revisions of the question. (And it is not the site that's given the error, but the browser.) – Arjan May 9 '10 at 10:56
Tech, +1, thanks for the link. But the real wtf for me is why wont this one open when all other sites open just fine. – Zaki May 9 '10 at 10:58

Works for me, redirects to http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/. Did you try private mode? Resetting your router (plug it out/in)? Every usual way?

private mode doesnt help. I can get to every single website I want except this one. Isnt this just plain weird?? Im confused as hell. – Zaki May 9 '10 at 9:43
I dont have access to the router. What more options do I have? – Zaki May 9 '10 at 9:44
If you cant access your router you dont really have much choice. Try an Opera USB but I guess it will be the same. Any security software which might manipulate your traffic? Like an internet sec suite? – Shiki May 9 '10 at 10:04
Im using Kaspersky, turned off the network monitor but to no avail. – Zaki May 9 '10 at 11:01
