Has my IP been Blocked by Madasafish???

Ok. i keep it short and sweet, but to confirm what i think has happen i need your views.
Aol is my ISP and Madasafish host my webspace and webmail.
Problem: Cannot connect to my webmail,website or to Madasafish website through Internet explorer. even if when i get google search and click to their main website it says page connot be displayed, but can access any other website on the net, I can upload, download etc...Its just my website, webmail and madasafish website that cannot be accessed.
If i connect to my aol account and sign on, I can access Madasafish and my webmails.
Have had countless convesations with tech at MAAF, had countless convos with aol., and each point at each other.
taking everything into consideration, from checking every setting known to man, re-installin IE, running system scan etc..and the fact that aol allows me to access the MAAF site and IE allows me access every other site, what would be your conclusion?

Just posted this in another post but it looks like Plusnet who now run MAAF have been integrating the MAAF system in to their own system and as a result they have had to change the IP addresses of MAAF to point to Plusnet. Unfortunatly due to the way the Internet works it can take up to 2 days for the worlds DNS servers to update and point to the new address. Try calling 0114 296 5198 or 0845 140 0200 which is plusnets support but I dunno if they will be able to help yet. Not too sure how far along with integration they are!

Hiya, thankyou for that info, but i was already aware of the intergration, it was one avenue I explored and put to MAAF tech guys, they checked it out and was ruled out, as the site can still be access by other IPS and besides i can access it via aol. Aol by the way uses a proxery server so my IP changes everytime i log on ( so i been informed)
I got some good tech guys on this and look forward to seeing their response and conclusion.

The IP address has been recently changed by plusnet by the looks of things. I can't access the site from the DNS servers I connect to (OpenDNS) however AOL, BT and Plusnets DNS servers have all refreshed and updated to the new IP address so anyone querying DNS on those providers will get the new address.

I'm just chatting to a couple of guys from Plusnet the now and they say that is probably whats causing any issues but If I find out anymore info I shall pass it on
