Eric:
In addition to the suggestions given by anyone else, might I suggest trying 
Google Public DNS servers? 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 are the IP addresses. My ISP 
apparently runs some sort of filtering and occasionally I have problems with 
their DNS, so I switched to Google and that pretty much resolves the issue 
for me. :D
