That's strange, we are getting our usual amount of traffic and

I had no problem reaching Nick's website with the address he gave, using
FF and just checked it with IE7 (yuck) and reached it just fine. Must
be something with your settings. (oops, I am telling an MVP to check
his settings.....lol).
Cheers......Heather
