    I haven't been able to load any pages from Newegg since about Monday. (I keep getting "content coding errors".) I've used different computers and tried Firefox, Chrome, and IE8 and have cleared caches.
    I live in =northern Virginia--is this some kind of local problem, or should I be calling my ISP?

    This is a good a site for checking if there's really a problem with a website: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

    Whenever I can't access a random website (even Google in the past), I usually solved it by unplugging my modem and router for a few seconds.

    If you're using Windows, you can run ping and tracert to find out if the 'Egg is up.

    1. Run the command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd -> OK)
    2. Type ping www.newegg.com
    3. View results. If you're missing/dropping packets, type tracert www.newegg.com
    4. This should tell you where your packets are being dropped or where the connection is broken

    Some information on ping and tracert can be found HERE (see link).

    Thanks very much, guys. I checked GTRagnarok's site and ran the tracert, and sent the info to my ISP.
