That actually worked, sort of. The site and images all load using that IP but videos are apparently served by another host because they get stuck on the "loading" animation forever. I found a couple other YouTube IPs on Google which also work: http://208.65.153.238/ http://208.117.236.69/ These are the IPs I got for www.youtube.com: youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.100 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.101 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.102 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.113 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.138 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.139 So at least I'm getting a little closer. Going to try to find my ISP's DNS servers and perform the lookups on them to see what the difference is. Thanks, Paul
