Maybe your DNS is not working? Try putting http://72.14.207.99/ into 
firefox and see what happens.

If that works, you could try visiting http://208.67.219.99/ and put 
the information there into the DNS servers setting in your network 
settings. I find it works well for me.

(Thinking out loud) But if DNS wasn't working for you, would you 
still be able to send mail to this list?

Don't know, but try the above and see if it works.
