nslookup

I have a server that I cannot access. At first I thought it was just some temporary failure with the server, but checking from other IP addresses reveals that it is working just fine. It's only my IP address that's failing.

So here is what I've tried:

nslookup - resolves correctly
ping - 100% packet loss using the IP address or domain
traceroute - first few hops work, but from about 6 and on, I just get stars

Edit: I am using OpenDNS for DNS resolution, and as mentioned above, the problem is not DNS resolution anyway.
