I've noticed that in the last couple of days, when I click on links from HardForum, I get DNS unreachable errors immediately. If I copy-paste the link, it works fine. Apparently going through whatever that lucca.hardforum.com redirect is breaks whatever I'm trying to access.
 
Clear your dns cache. Also might try using Google's or Verizon's DNS servers.

Here is how to fix that corrupted DNS cache.

1. Click the Microsoft Vista Start logo in the bottom left corner of the screen
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. RIGHT-click on Command Prompt
5. Select Run As Administrator
6. In the command window type the following and then hit enter: ipconfig /flushdns
7. You will see the following confirmation: Windows IP Configuration Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.


Google Public DNS is a free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service, that you can use as an alternative to your current DNS provider. To try it out: Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers or.
