From dnsstuff.com I get:

Answer:


Domain  Type    Class   TTL     Answer
bnb.dtdns.net.  A       IN      60      71.13.128.6
dtdns.net.      NS      IN      172800  ns1.dtdns.com.
dtdns.net.      NS      IN      172800  ns2.dtdns.com.
ns1.dtdns.com.  A       IN      7200    216.139.195.8
ns2.dtdns.com.  A       IN      7200    69.89.70.51


Trying to connect to 71.13.128.6 times out, but the dns info appears to
be functioning.  Is that is your external IP?  Assuming yes, make sure
WIndows Firewall didn't turn itself on during an Update (if you are on
Win that is)..  or any other firewall that would block external requests?
