Alrighty folks, I have an extremely odd problem. I am able to surf the web fine with one odd (and really annoying at the moment) exception: Microsoft's Silverlight.net. Every other site that I go to works just fine.
This is quite frustrating because I'm in the middle of programming a web app in Silverlight 4.0, and whenever I do a search for any code examples, tutorials, or whatnot at least 50% of the results are hosted in the silverlight.net forums.
The error message that I get is: Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.silverlight.net
It doesn't work in my other browsers either (both IE and FireFox). What's odd, is that while the error message would lead me to assume it's a DNS error, I can ping the URL just fine.

I've checked my HOSTS file, and there's nothing that refers to ANY Microsoft URL in there.
What could be causing this!?? More importantly, how do I fix it?
Just for kicks, I've even included the results of a traceroute here for your enjoyment.

Thanks in advance!
