Cannot access site from Hughes.net
For some reason, I cannot access this site from my home connection, which I recently changed to Hughes Net. As you can see, it works fine from my work connection and also via wireless. Maybe hughes is blocked for some reason?

My guess is that it is a DNS issue.
Try this:
If you use Windows, click Start, then click Run.
A window will open. In the text area, type the following:
Then click OK.
This will open up a black window, a terminal (sorry if you already know this stuff).
In the terminal, type the following:
It should return with something like the following:
See that number address under the " Name: dieseltruckresource.com" line? That is the IP address of this site.
If you get a different IP address, or an error message, then thats your problem.
Copy the IP that I got above (66.179.167.101). In your browser type the following:
http://66.179.167.101
See if that takes you to the site.

I'm on hughes.net and I surf here... well a lot. Hughes web accelerater proxy works as good as a screen door on a submarine. Try disabling proxy and browse the site that way.
Hilarious!
