well...usfirst.org isn't in any DNS records (available to outsiders.) So you need to ping www.usfirst.org or newton.usfirst.org.
For some reason, there is still no ping response (even though their servers are obviously...) Not sure why pings would be blocked...Possibly to limit DOS attacks.
Epix (the local...sorta...ISP) doesn't normally have problems so I doubt it's that. Normally, the DNS service (or the entire DSL service) will die for a few minutes or hours...
