If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

My computer seems to have decided that photobucket has dissapeared, and is refusing to admit its existance. Images people link to either show up as a broken image or a link saying "hosted by photobucket", and I cant access the site itself. This seems to suggest that something is blocking it somewhere, but I cant work out what. Any clues?

Photobucket doesn't exist and has never existed, it was just your imagination.

Assuming you're at home and not on an office network it could be a routing issue with your ISP. Using
http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=photobucket.com can you ping the IP it gives you?

What happens if you try the IP in the address bar?
