Just need a little help

I've been trying to connect to this site (
http://www.Madmaxmovies.com )via Tiscali uk for months
but I just get a DNS error. Tiscali thinks it my PC and its connection settings
but I'm posting this via another ISP so I know they are ok. I know of one other tiscali customer who also can't reach this site !
Has any body else had trouble like this? Can any body help me prove its not my PC?
thanks
I'm missing the action!

can you 'ping' the site? From a query I have just done, Mad max movies resolves to ip address 63.99.209.6
try typing:
ping
http://www.madmaxmovies.com
...and see if you get replys.
If not, and if you have a windows NT, 2000 or XP machine, click start, run and type the following ...
notepad c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
then add the following line at the bottom of the file...
63.99.209.6
http://www.madmaxmovies.com
...save the file and restart your computer and it will work.

Thank you Thankyou Thankyou Dave . you've sorted it for me.
I pinged the address you gave me and that was ok
I pinged
http://www.madmaxmovies.com which failed
so I altered the host file as you said and bingo here I am .
fantastic. you helped me out where my ISP couldn't !
Once again thanks
