Why is it that I need to make changes to be able to view a site that I have been viewing for years and others can see. makes no sense to me.
To first approximation, it's really pretty simple. When you type in a URL or otherwise, your ISP has to map that to an actual address , called the IP address. There's a look-up table selected by your ISP that sees "
www.clstunt.com" and translates to an IP address (in this case, 64.27.52.194). These look-up tables are stored on a machine called the Domain Name Server (DNS). These are provided by hosting companies to the individual DNS. You ISP chooses which domain name server to use, or runs one themselves.
For whatever reason, the DNS entry for SSW was temporarily disabled. It could have been due to service on the DNS, service at 64..., mistakenly considering the domain expired, or any number of other things. That disabled domain entry got into some DNSs, including the one you are using, and hasn't been updated with the corrected information. These are updated periodically, usually in a few days, but apparently once a week for whichever DNS your ISP uses. The suggested workaround is to select a DIFFERENT DNS - publicly available from Google in this case - with the right address and routing information. I had the same problem, the difference was, my DNS was updated with the correct information within a few hours. Apparently yours wasn't and hasn't yet. I can get on from here (home) but not from work, at least not as of Monday when I last tried it.
This has nothing to do with your computer, and almost certainly nothing to do with Leonard Neumann, or anything outside *your* ISP and whichever DNS they have set for your use. If you want to complain to someone, it is at *your* ISP, the DNS that they are using does not contain the correct information. Don't expect anyone at the first line service desk to understand what the issue is, however, it's their issue. I expect it will correct itself pretty soon, and there is certainly something that the DNS host could correct if they were inclined to.
