Hello Joel,

Last year, groups.yahoo.com was blocked by most of the ISPs in India.
The following links will give you some details:

http://www.computerweekly.co.uk/Article125312.htm
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/26/1064083178553.html?oneclick=true

Now this is more than a year old story. I don't know the current status.
If the blocking still continues, then you should be able to access the
site with the IP (this is how me and some other friends of mine used to
access it).

I feel that you should talk to your ISP first.

One more thing, if your ISP is Dishnet then all your attempts to do a
'ping' will be of no use. Dishnet has blocked ICMP packets. But you
could still try doing a 'traceroute'.

Hope my comments help. :)

Srinidhi.
