What do you mean by 'get to it'? Are you trying an HTTP connection, FTP,
or a ping or traceroute?

It probably isn't a routing issue on your end. Post a traceroute to the
IP from mindspring, and from your DSL line.. That way we can figure out
where the problem lies.

/usr/sbin/traceroute - Linux
tracert - NT
