Really Weird Problem: can't access my website!

I can't access my website, www.phototerrestrial.com either from my desktop
or laptop. I'm getting a Page Load error saying Address Can't Be Found.
Strangely enough, other people do access this website with no problem. I
don't know how this could be possible..
I have AT&T DSL service. I access the Internet thru an access point that
combines a router and a modem with a hardware firewall.
Can anyone help me with this problem please?

If you ping www.phototerrestrial.com, does it reply with a correct IP
address?

Robert, thanks for your response. Unfortunately, my ping can't find the
host. It's like it has fallen thru into a parallel universe.

open a cmd prompt (from accessories) and run

ipconfig /flushdns [press enter]

does that fix you up?

Thanks, Barb.  There was a problem with one of the DNS servers. Now
resolved.
