Very strange...

Shot in the dark here: in your hosts file, did you add blackberryforums.com or www.blackberryforums.com, and which are you putting in your browser? They both seem to point to the same IP address, and the site doesn't seem to care which you use, but links direct to "www...".

Just so we have a solid baseline for speculation, can you:

1) power cycle all of your router/firewall/hubs/switches/etc equipment

2) clear the BBF from your HOSTS file, reboot, and ping both URLs. (a) Do either resolve to the proper ip address, and if so (b) do you get replies? Also, try to load both into (c) FF and (d) IE and see what happens in each.

3) put both BBF entries in the HOSTS file, reboot, and ping both URLs. Repeat the steps in (2)
