Are you banned or are you just not getting a response from the website (404/other error)?

You still have the hostsfile entry they stupidly told people to put in 2+ years ago and then never reminded people to remove. You probably don't even remember putting it in, but you did. Go delete the ddo.com entry out of your hosts file.

I'm betting you adjusted your HOSTS file back when DDO forgot to renew their domain name.  Either that, or it was a more recent DNS debacle.

What ever you did, you should undo.

EDIT: Shit, I didn't see this.  Nice one:

Use a browser other than internet explorer.  That usually fixes it for me.

Open your HOSTS file with notepad.
Path is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
see screenshot for more detail
Remove the two entries below
74.201.102.13 gls.ddo.com
74.201.102.13 gls-auth.ddo.com

Then
Start-Run
Type "cmd"
Type "IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS"

You running anything like peer-guardian?  They're owned by Warner Brothers and if configured wrong apps like that will block all traffic to media-company sites.
