Anyone else not able to connect to Craigslist?

I've searched but couldn't find any hits. I'm sorry if this has been discussed. I've searched but couldn't find any recent information.

Anyway, for the last three days I can not connect to Craigslist from any of my my Verizon connections--FIOS and Verizon Wireless. I can connect from my internet connection from work. I'm assuming this is a Verizon issue. I'm a little frustrated since I have a 2K item listed in Craigslist right now.

Anyone with some information I would appreciate it.  

Thanks

Perform a Traceroute to Craigslist for us. I'm curious if the problem is with perhaps an inability to oute or if it is with a DNS-related problem, or something else. Traceroutes are easy to perform. If you're on Windows, go to Start and then open Run then enter in the program called cmd, or simply search for the program "cmd" in the start menu. In Command Prompt, type in the command: tracert www.craigslist.com and then press Enter. Please let us know what the output of the command is.

I just realized my problem must be from my Wi-Fi connection. I just switched my smart phone fron Wi-Fi to 3G and I can connect to craigslist now. Should I re-set my router?

Hey I've been having the same problem with my conncection to craigslist. I'm on a mac and using safari or firefox I cannot connect while on wi-fi. I too have a smart phone and it works fine there. My two computers and ipad while on wifi time out. I called verizon and they say its a hardware problem and not their service.... I reset my router and cleared my search history/cache and nothing I too am stuck with 2k in listings.... I don't know what else to do.

There are reports such as yours that describe SSL connection issues after Microsoft update KB2585542 was installed.  I had similar issues and removed KB2585542.  http://www.kerio.com/blog/microsoft-windows-update-and-kerio-outlook-connector

Verizon's messed up my DSL line in recent days which I am in the process of fixing, however, here's a traceroute I get when reaching Craigslist. I can in fact visit it.

By any chance, do you know if your IP address has changed since Craigslist became unusable? Visit http://whatismyip.org/ and tell us the first two octets of your IP address, such as 192.168.***.***
