Hi Gina,
Here are some links that may help...

However, looking at your trace (successful vs. nonsucessful),
...
17 101 ms 117 ms 114 ms 64.245.101.10 (This is Everyone's Internet,
Inc. Houston TX, NS1.EV1.NET--Looked up)
18 109 ms 144 ms 139 ms 207.218.245.37 (This is Everyone's Internet,
Inc. Houston TX, NS1.EV1.NET--Looked up)
19 * * * Request timed out.
...
Have you done anything recently to your site and the DNS settings? changed
domains? changed servers? Sometimes DNS caching can last up to 48 hours.
Here's a successful one:
...
13 207.218.245.37 (207.218.245.37) 58.789 ms 58.746 ms 58.552 ms
14 server6.usethisnameserver.com (64.246.26.55) 59.036 ms 59.175 ms
59.04 ms
>>>>>>>>>>
Now, the last two hops on the above are Everyone's Internet, Inc. Houston
TX, NS1.EV1.NET. Why can I get to 207.218.245.37 and not
server6.usethisnamever.com--when all the other locations I tried can???? To
me, this makes no sense.
Thanks for any input,
Gina

This is weird though. Your failed tracert hit #17 64.245.101.10 was
Allegiance Telecom Companies worldwide
(http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=64.245.101.10) and #18 was
Everyone's Internet
(http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=207.218.245.37). #13 and #14 were
also Everyone's Internet. The 64.246.0.0 domain was added later, but I'm not
sure how that will help you.
Thanks again to dnsstuff.com, here's a tracert:
1. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/tracert.ch?ip=ginaanderson.com
2. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/tracert.ch?ip=207.218.245.37
3. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/tracert.ch?ip=64.246.26.55
Both 1. and 3. work. 1. was your failed search. 3 was your successful
search. There could be something else along the way preventing a tracert to
ginaanderson.com?
HTH,
