Wikipedia — gone, or is it just my ISP?

I haven't been able to access Wikipedia at all in the past 4 days or so. I've never known it to go down for such a length of time with no explanation. I have a hunch maybe my ISP's DNS server is just screwy.

So I'm just wondering, can you access Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org

Yes it works, at least from here. I made a few corrections on a certain subject.

Thanks for letting me know the problem's on my end. That alone helps.

After a little investigation and settings-tweaking, it looks like the problem is with my router. Strange. This Linksys WRT45g has been giving me way too much trouble! I'll probably ask for help with it soon, but I'll save that for another thread.
