The LS and the Website/Forums are hosted on the same Server, so if you can't get to one, you can't get to the other. Normally within 24 hours of a DNS change, the change will trickle down to all DNS servers, so yours should eventually get the update (probably sometime today) and resolve your problem automatically. Until then, your best bet would be to change your DNS server to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 if you want to correct the problem without having to wait for your DNS servers to update.

Depending on which OS you are using, setting the DNS servers statically like that can require different steps. Normally, you should be able to just do the following:

1. On your desktop, right click "My Network Places"
2. Click on "Properties"
3. Right click "Local Area Connection"
4. Click on "Properties"
5. Click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"
6. Click the "Properties" button
7. On the General Tab, click the radial button that says "Use the following DNS server addresses:"
8. For "Preferred DNS Server:" enter "4.2.2.1"
9. For "Alternate DNS Server:" enter "4.2.2.2"
10. Click the "OK" button
11. Close out any windows that were left open from the steps you just took.
12. You are all done.

After that, you should be able to connect just fine.
