IP address will not resolve to Domain Name
Hey everyone,
I have my company website, midstatemutual.com but several locations seem to find 404 page errors and Im not sure why.
I found that the actual IP address, 67.151.65.100, will not work either. Wondering if this is the overall problem?

Have you checked the setting on your firewall to pass port 80 traffic and ping? Was it working previously and just stopped? Any setting changes on your firewall? Any updates to Windows?
Is it possible the non-working locations are being blocked somehow?
Can these locations ping your router, or some other service/server that should be available to the public?

Also, what happens if one of these locations does a tracert to 67.151.65.100?
The problem may be external to you, there may be an issue with the DNS servers populating your sites name and IP address, you can check this with nslookup at any site where you detect the problem, but if your IP address also fails to respond then there may be an issue with your server or your ISP, only if it isn´t your firewall as mentioned above.

by locations i mean individual people reporting that they cannot access the website. it is random and rare but it has seemed to happen after moving the DNS hosting to GoDaddy.com.
if i use something like this, for example, it will not find midstatemutual.com

although all other websites i try work...
i just know something is a little off and not sure at what level the error lies at. i will investigate the DNS records further

How long ago did you move to godaddy? a nslookup on your domain resolves to your IP as someone else also stated above. have you done any troubleshooting with the users who are unable to access the site? It may be caused by an issue with the servers they are using for name resolution
