Problem connecting to websites

Since Last week all the computers in the house wont connect us to selective websites.
We have three laptops and two PC's everything apart from one of the PC's are wireless. the problem is with all of them.
I went to the library and checked the websites were up and running on their computers, and they were fine, so it is obviously a problem at home.
By chance yesterday an unsecured network appeared which I could see from home and I connected to it one by one on each of the laptops, all the websites could then be accessed on three of the lap tops, so it appears it may be a router problem.
I have unplugged the router and reset it.
Cleared out the DNS cache.
A couple of the websites we can't access are

It sounds like this is due to your ISP having certain routing problems. Report it to them and see what they say, as there is nothing more that you can do.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
