Missed one tip. Make sure your host file was not changed. You can specify the IP of a url in that host file which will override the Nameservers. Means you could add an entry like 85.10.210.166 www.ebay.com

This would mean that if you type www.ebay.com in your browser you would be directed to my webserver..
