 Can you ping with the IP address?

hmm no, weird. I can load the IP in a browser and get to the homepage, but I can't ping it.

Here is my error in the browser.

An error occured while loading http://pages.ebay.com/search/items/basicsearch.html?ssPageName=h:h:fitem:US:
Connection to host pages.ebay.com is broken

I'm not really sure you can ping eBay on a good day.  Don't they block ICMP?

I can't ping eBay either. They may block that kinda stuff. Try pages.ebay.com

It's something in my router. I was trying to use a Compaq router, but now I have the Linksys hooked back up temporarily. What setting would be causing the problem I described?

Cant think of what would cause a problem in your router unless its set to block an IP range ebay is using.

Sounds like a TTL problem to me.  I had that happen to my website, and it was more than a week before the URL was working again in the Boston area.

It happens from time to time, but usually only when a webserver changes its IP address.
