Geoff, one suggestion is to email or call your tech support at Mstar and let them know. This sounds a lot like a DNS problem. DNS means Domain Name Server, and every ISP has one, or if it's a small ISP, uses a larger service's DNS. It's basically a directory of domain names like topica.com, mstar2.net, shaw.ca, etc., etc. DNS's update each other, more or less -- there's no central organization that does this (although the W3C consortium, the unofficial libertarianist-like body that sets the standards for the WWW, has set up the protocols for how DNS's do this). It could simply be that your DNS hasn't been updated, or that topica.com was removed by an automated anti-spam program that your ISP runs. All kinds of reasons that have nothing to do with you personally.
This used to happen to me occasionally when I had a dial-up connection with a company called connect.ab.ca; although they were on the backbone and were therefore reasonably fast for a dial-up, they did not have a "primary" DNS like my present service does. But if Mstar is who I think it is -- the Church-owned ISP -- they really ought to be better at managing this. It's not like they're a tiny ISP.
